Description
Fishing Shiel at Fishwick Mains is likely an early 19th-century building that was rebuilt after a fire in 2000. It is a single-storey, two-bay, rectangular-plan fishing shiel constructed from dry dash sandstone rubble, with an ice house located to the east.
The southeast elevation features a boarded timber door on the left and a boarded timber shuttered window on the right. The northeast elevation is gabled and has a boarded timber shuttered window that is offset to the left of center. The northwest elevation is blank and has a modern garage adjoining it. The southwest elevation is also gabled and includes a pointed projection centered at the ground.
The building has modern glazing and rooflights on the southeast side, topped with a steeply-pitched grey slate roof. There is a coped stack on the northeast side with a circular can.
The interior was not seen in 1999. The ice house is built into the hillside, with a timber door at the center of its southeast elevation. The interior of the ice house was also not seen.
