Hattersley Building

The Hattersley Building is a late 19th-century structure that was originally part of a foundry and is now used as offices. It features a coursed, rock-faced sandstone facade with a brick rear and a Welsh slate roof. The building is an elongated two-storey range with 24 windows on the first floor. It has a plinth and ashlar quoins. The central waggon entrance, which has quoins, impost blocks, and a keyed segmental arch, has been infilled with a 20th-century glazed lobby. The ground-floor windows have projecting sills and iron casements with glazing bars, as well as impost blocks and keyed round arches. There is a taller sashed window on the far right. The first-floor windows mirror those on the ground floor and feature a sill band. A central three-bay gable with a flagpole is present, along with shaped kneelers and gable copings. The building has a renewed brick end-stack on the left, a truncated end-stack on the right, and two other ridge stacks, one of which is truncated. At the rear, there is an ornate cast-iron balustrade leading to an external staircase. This building served as the offices, warehouse, and pattern-store for the Queen's Foundry, owned by T. and C. Hattersley, who relocated to this site in 1869 and were known for producing domestic ranges. A wing to the rear left is not of special interest.
