Description

Weighbridge House, located in Guildford Square, Rothesay, Bute, is a former weighing house from the later 19th century. It has a rectangular plan, is a single storey, and consists of a single bay. In the late 20th century, it was converted into a retail outlet. The building features glazed bricks with red sandstone ashlar detailing, a raised base course, bracketed timber eaves, shouldered-arch openings, and ashlar cills. There is a weighing platform on the side.

On the entrance elevation, there is a boarded timber door that is off-set to the right of centre, with a narrow window off-set to the left. The south side elevation has a tripartite window at the centre and a rectangular weighing platform at the front, which is inscribed "H Pooley & Son Ld Birmingham."
