Description
This building is a former smithy that has been converted into a workshop, dating from the 18th century. It is timber framed and covered with weatherboarding, featuring three roofs clad in corrugated iron, with two gables on the right side. The left range retains its original board shutter, which covers a two-light window and a vertically boarded door. The left gable end has a six-light workshop window, with each light containing three small overlapping panes, and there is a similar window on the right return. A vertically boarded door is located on the right side. The roof is supported by side purlins and is pegged at the ridge.
Above the window, there is a cast iron advertisement plaque that states "Agent for the Maldon Gold Medal Implements, Ploughs, irons etc. Maldon Iron Works." To the right of the door, another cast iron plaque reads "Agent, Bentall's ploughs, irons and C." Bentall Engineering and Maldon Ironworks were the two major foundries in this area, and no other similar advertisements are known to have survived.
