Description
Treforest Textile Printers is a small factory built in the 20th century, featuring a modern L-shaped two-storey entrance and administration wing in front of a wider factory with ten asymmetrical bays. Both the entrance wing and the factory are constructed of brick, with the entrance wing showcasing concrete detailing. The roof is concealed by plain parapets, and the metal-framed windows include pivoting lights. The main entrance is located on the left side of the front and features replaced doors within a single-storey projection that wraps around the corner, complete with full-height glazing. The upper storey has a band of windows that also wraps around the angle.
On the left return wall, there is a porthole window situated below a plain stair light, followed by banded windows on both storeys. To the right of the entrance, there is a narrow, taller rubble stone tower with a window in its right side wall. Further to the right is a one-storey wing with banded windows. The right return wall features a similar window.
On the right side of the front wing, the factory range is wider, with the first five bays having banded windows. The rear five bays, which are a later addition, step out further.
