Description
The building is a warehouse located 60 metres north of Birley Hay Farmhouse in Eckington, dating from the late 18th century. It was originally used as an outbuilding for a water-powered scythe and sickle works that occupied the nearby site. The structure is built from coursed squared coal measures sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring intermediate and end ridge brick stacks and a Welsh slated roof.
The warehouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays. It originally had three doorways with large stone surrounds and lintels, but now has one doorway altered to create a double doorway. There are two square openings on the first floor in flush surrounds, one of which is a 2-light mullioned window, along with a smaller rectangular light. The centre of the elevation has a second pair of double doors.
On the rear elevation, there are 2 and 3-light flush mullioned windows, with some lights blocked. The south gable features a large first-floor loading door and planked double doors. This building was part of a complex of workshops and dwellings, similar to the Abbeydale Works site in Sheffield. A mill pond and part of the water-powered forge remain to the west of the warehouse, but these features are not included in this listing.
