Description
Nos. 1-3 Greenway's Almshouses is a former industrial building from around the 1850s, originally built as a glove workshop and now part of the Greenway’s Almshouses as of 2014.
The building is constructed from local stone rubble with brick dressings, features weather boarding on the upper storey, and has a slate roof with a brick stack at the east end. It has a narrow rectangular shape oriented north to south and is two storeys high with a gable end.
The north gable end is mostly blank, except for a small glazed opening on the first floor. The west elevation consists of ten bays, which include two doors (one a plank door and the other a modern glazed door), seven ground-floor windows, and five first-floor windows. The east elevation has six bays, featuring two modern partially glazed doors, four ground-floor windows (three with 16 panes), and five first-floor windows. The south gable end has a modern double-leaf glazed door and a window above. The ground-floor openings are topped with segmental brick arches, and all casement windows are modern timber replacements, as are the first-floor six-pane sash windows.
Inside, a partial inspection in 2014 revealed that the building has been converted into three separate dwellings, likely altering the original layout. Some internal features noted in 1972 may still be present, including brick segmental-head fireplaces and slender ceiling joists with scissor bracing in the central ground-floor room. The roof structure is a tie-beam construction.
