Description
Hamlyn's Tannery is a tannery building dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of painted stone rubble and features a half hipped slate roof. The structure has three storeys and three bays. The ground floor has a modern shopfront, while the first floor contains two and four light casements with glazing bars. The second floor is fitted with wooden louvred shutters. The right-hand (south) end has a carriageway with louvred shutters above.
Adjoining the tannery at a right angle on the left-hand (south-east) side is a gabled building that was enlarged in the 19th century. This building is made of 18th and 19th century white-washed stone rubble and brick, topped with a corrugated iron roof featuring gabled ends. It also has three storeys and an attic, with the second floor having louvred shutters. The two buildings are connected by iron bridges on the first and second floors.
