Former Bonville's Court Colliery Weighbridge House

The weighbridge house is a small single-storey gabled structure of coursed rubble sandstone with a corrugated roof. There is a central doorway to the front or N elevation with a plank door, and a square window on either side. One blocked window opening can be seen on the W gable end, and another to the rear elevation. The platform for the weighing machine was set into the road in front. The checkweighman's Act of 1860 and succeeding legislation enforced election and payment of weighmen by the miners themselves in recognition of their important role in recording production for the settlement of wages. The weighbridge house contained reading equipment for the weighbridge, the miners' and Company's nominated checkweighmen, and their respective ledgers.
