Description

A steel-framed shed with lightly trussed steel roof of 9 bays. Originally clad and roofed in corrugated iron, it was entirely stripped of external covering at the time of inspection. The floor of the building is raised above surrounding ground level. On the N side, facing the former tramway, are 3 sliding steel doors. On the S side are steel steps to a single central former door. To the L of the S doorway is an outshut. A lean-to engine house against the W gable end is clad in modern corrugated galvanised metal. On its W side is a steel platform retaining 3 cast iron 1000-gallon tanks bearing the legend 'Corporation Transport', 2 of which held water and the 3rd (and a 4th removed when the works closed) held fuel.

The works retains most of its original machinery, which was belt driven from a National heavy-oil engine, which remains in situ. Surviving machinery comprises a hammer mill and a crusher, elevators, a rotary screen, and 3 balers, 2 by Webster & Bickerton, and one by Shirtliffe.
