Maespoeth Locomotive Shed and attached workshops

The building is built of slate, with 13-in pale brick arches to windows and openings. Slate roof. Each side is of 9 bays, each having tall windows under segmental brick arches, and 6 large panes of glass. Slate sills. The eaves outsets. The N end has three large flying buttresses of slate under a pent roof. The S end has a 2m wide opening directly over the line, with a high semi-circular brick arch and, to the left side, a tall and narrow round-headed window, now blocked. Attached at this point, is a single storey workshop range.

Each bay is defined by king-post and raking strut trusses supporting 2 purlins and a ridge piece. The tramway line runs the full length of the E side, and has 2 inspection pits. A large water cistern was originally set in to roof, with a delivery pipe to a water column placed externally against the main line, now lost. A coach shed in front of the locomotive shed has been removed, as also has the adjacent ground frame.
