Description

This is a single-storey workshop located northwest of Tinning House at Treforest Tinplate Works. The building is constructed of rubble stone with brick dressings and features an asbestos-cement roof. The east side wall has eight bays with round-headed windows, except for the center-left bay, which has been cut down to create a doorway. Additionally, doorways under steel lintels have been inserted in the third bay from each end during the 20th century. The gable ends of the building are blank. On the west side wall, there is a low projection added at the north end, along with five blocked windows.

Inside, the workshop is divided by a cross wall and has wrought iron roof trusses.
