Tannery Cottage And Attached Warehouse To South East Of Highbury Works

Tannery Cottage and the attached warehouse, located southeast of Highbury Works, were originally built in 1824 and 1844 for Thomas Martin. These structures are now vacant and have been repurposed from their original use as a paper works and cottages. The buildings are constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and feature a hipped corrugated sheet roof with two stone stacks.

The north front includes a large central cart entrance with a sliding door, to the right of which is a blocked window and a casement window, followed by a gabled single-storey wing that has two shuttered windows. Above this wing, there are three boarded windows, and to the left, there is a boarded window with a two-light window above it. The cottage front also features two attached privies and two casement windows on each floor. The interior has not been inspected.

Originally, this paper works was built for Thomas Martin and later served as a storehouse for Samuel Smith's tannery, now known as Highbury Works.
