Gabled wing has wide garage door entrance to left, paired casement window to right and above moulded red brick lunette in the gable and remains of panel with the word 'Rescue' in raised lettering. Linking section has semi-circular gable with moulded coping, scrolled stops and tympanum with the 'North Wales Coal Owners Association' in raised lettering.
