Salt Warehouse

The Salt Warehouse is a rectangular building dating from the 18th century, constructed of squared and coursed local limestone with limestone quoins and dressings. The chimney stack is red brick, and the roof is covered in plain clay tiles. The building is two storeys high and has a pitched roof. The main elevation features a ground-floor double doorway with some brick replacement to the surround, covered by a timber lintel. This doorway is flanked by louvred window openings with timber mullions. The first floor has a central taking-in door with ventilation slits on either side. The gable ends have similar ventilation slits to the first floor. The rear elevation has a ground-floor window similar to those on the front, and ventilation slits above. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is believed to retain evidence of its heated walls. The building has group value from its contribution to the historic character of the area.
