Description
The Tamar Health Club is a railway engine shed and workshop with a forge and an attached workshop, built around 1865. It features slatestone rubble walls and rag slate roofs, with two rubble stacks—one located over the rear gable and the other as a lateral stack on the left side of the workshop wing. The building has a rectangular plan, consisting of a twin engine house with a narrow workshop wing positioned at an angle in front of the left-hand side. The single-storey front gable end includes an original near Diocletian window above a pair of round-arched doorways. Most of the other windows are old and have transoms, while the left-hand engine doorway is blocked, and the rest of the doors are from the 20th century. The interior has not been inspected.
