Description
The Former Mines Rescue Centre is a mines rescue station that includes the Superintendent's House on the right and a lower workshop range on the left. The building features red Ruabon brick on the ground floor, with quoins and window dressings in buff brick on the first floor. It has a slate roof with a decorative brick gable stack and a mix of plate glass sash and casement windows, all with corbelled sills. The ground floor windows of the Superintendent's House have hoodmoulds and keystones.
The Superintendent's House is a two-storey structure with a five-bay main wing. It has a central window on the first floor flanked by paired sash windows. A bracketed string course runs along the first floor, and there is a central arched doorway on the ground floor with a recessed panelled door and glazed leaded margin lights. To the right, there are two paired sashes, and to the left, a tripartite window. A two-storey wing extends to the rear.
The workshop consists of a two-bay gabled wing with two additional bays to the right and a single bay section that links to the Superintendent's House. The gabled wing features a wide garage door entrance on the left, a paired casement window on the right, and a moulded red brick lunette in the gable. There are remains of a panel with the word 'Rescue' in raised lettering. The linking section has a semi-circular gable with moulded coping, scrolled stops, and a tympanum displaying 'North Wales Coal Owners Association' in raised lettering. Below this is a wide tripartite window in an infilled opening, likely a former vehicle entrance.
At the rear, the left-hand gable wing extends and encloses a central U-shaped single-storey training gallery. There are further flat-roofed extensions at the back of the Superintendent's House. The building has been largely refitted for modern office use but retains its original stairs and layout, particularly the windowless training gallery located in the single-storey U-shaped building at the rear.
