Former Coal Shed, Former Gasworks, Kilmorey Street, Newry, Co Down, BT34 2DN

A two-storey building cut into the slope such that it can also be entered at first floor level from Chapel Street, with which it is aligned. Gabled roof, and walls of granite rubble brought to courses. Has undergone extensive refurbishment in the recent past. The eaves and gables have been raised approx. 0.6m and the roof tiled, with skylight inserted on the Chapel St slope. The main façade faces south into the former gasworks yard. It has four large windows and two doors at ground floor level, and eight two-paned fixed windows at first floor level; their surrounds are now rendered with cement. Comparison with photographs taken in the 1980s shows all these windows and doors to be new insertions. The left (north-facing) gable has, at ground floor, a large semicircular-headed brick-trimmed opening which contains a modern four-pane window. To its left is a modern door. At first floor are two original window openings, now infilled. Both have brick jambs, semicircular heads (also in brick, but with granite keystones), and granite cills. Embedded in the apex of the gable is a dressed granite bearing the initials 'NTC' and '1891' [=Newry Town Commissioners]. An original door opening to Chapel Street has been infilled, and three new doors inserted The first floor of the right gable is identical to the left gable, but is otherwise blank.
