Building at former Powder Works, Hendre Quarry

Large rectangular 2-storey 7-bay building, constructed of rubble stone with large quoins under a hipped corrugated-iron roof. Round-arched openings to front and rear, those to ground floor taller. The arches have red brick dressings. Main entrance, facing S, to central bay; further entrance 2nd bay from L. Some openings are infilled with rubble stone, including central upper and 2nd from R to front elevation. Remains of 2-light wooden window frames to some upper storey openings, along with corrugated iron sheeting under the arches. Tie bars. E and W ends have no external openings.

The floor is slightly raised and some brick paving survives. The building is now open to the roof with light King-post roof trusses. The 1st floor is missing, but infilled beam sockets to the sides, and joists to the ends, mark its former position. A low stone wall divides the 2 bays at the W end from the remaining 5 bays. This smaller area has stone side benches; the rear openings are blocked with stone, except for the top R. The W end has a small blind opening with segmental head to lower storey. E end has tall blind arch to each storey, infilled with red brick above and stone below. That above contains recesses, perhaps for machinery, with a further brick-lined socket to its R.
