Description
1870 for Gourlay Brothers and Company, building relocated (within original site) and reconstructed 2001. Important survival of rare cast iron framed former engineering works. Irregular pair of linked 2-storey, piend-roofed, rectangular-plan ranges converted to retail unit. Harl with contrasting ashlar long and short quoins. Multi-pane glazing patterns throughout.
FURTHER DESCRIPTION: modern glass frontage to entrance elevation at S. Remaining elevations largely replicate original, W (former E) elevation retains evidence of 3 tall, broad openings with cast iron lintels, each below decoratively glazed oculus.
INTERIOR: altered 2001 to accommodate conversion to retail premises but retaining much evidence of machine shop interior including cast iron framework, travelling crane, Hodgekinson beams, cast iron stanchions and timber roof trusses. See Notes for original description of interior layout.
