Maesteg Sports Centre, The Cornstores

Built of Pennant Sandstone, with a hipped slate roof. Rectangular on plan with the entrance in the narrower N end. Walls approximately 1m thick, rising 3 storeys as defined by string courses at sill level, and some stone blocks are cramped together and run in with lead. The lower level has six 9-paned windows, the tall second level has two pairs of 9-paned windows with round heads, each pair set back under 3-centred ashlar stone arches. The windows were originally of cast iron, of which a few remain. The top level has 6 round-headed paned windows, which return at the ends. Two well-designed lean-to glazed porches of 1983 are set between original wing walls on the N end.

The whole interior is open to the roof, and has a thick cross wall (restored) on which the huge engine beam was pivoted. Double cast iron pockets with spreader plates set in the walls to carry machinery. Some original pavings relaid in the S part.
