Former Leadworks And Attached Chimney And Wall

The former leadworks, dating from the mid-19th century, is located on Anchor Road in Canon's Marsh, Bristol. This building is constructed from pennant stone rubble, featuring Bath stone quoins and dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with pantiles on the eastern side and stone and brick stacks on the left and rear elevations facing Anchor Road. The structure has a rectangular plan and is two storeys high, with a 15-window south front. The windows have keyed segmental-headed architraves and metal casements, along with outer doorways. A moulded string and cornice run across the front, extending to a lean-to on the left, which has two keyed oculi above a similar ground-floor window. There is also a similar architrave over a doorway in the wall on the left, which is attached to the Canon's Marsh Goods Shed. The building features a circular chimney with a wide oversailing moulded limestone cap. The interior has not been inspected. This structure is one of the few remaining examples of the area's industrial heritage, alongside the goods station and nearby warehouses, and is noted for its distinctive chimney.
