Description

The building consists of a wagon shed, cement store, and boundary wall associated with a timber yard, likely established around 1820 to 1830. The boundary walls were probably built at the same time as the mill, with an increase in height occurring between 1830 and 1840. The Tithe Map indicates that there were sheds on the site of the wagon shed by 1840, although the current structures are likely later reconstructions. The enclosed former cement store was constructed in 1904, and the adjacent wagon shed may date from the same period.

The boundary wall extends from the eastern gable of the mill to the north and south and is likely contemporary with the mill. It is made of thin-coursed local sandstone rubble, with later sections built from well-coursed and squared local rubble. The wagon shed, located against this wall to the north, features a hipped slate roof and an open front with three bays supported by cast-iron columns on padstones. To the south, there is a gabled cross range that was originally the cement store, which includes a wide doorway with a flat stone lintel and an upper loading door with a cambered blue brick head and red-brick jambs beneath the gable.

This building is an integral part of the timber yard and holds group value with the saw-mill.
