Description

The exterior is clad with asbestos sheets over dwarf brick walls, and with double doors in the N gable end. The gabled roof is asbestos-cement sheets. Concealed by the cladding, however, is the original cast iron frame of identical bays 4 bays long and a single bay wide. These comprise cast iron uprights spanned by segmental arched braces, which have open circles in the spandrels, typical of the Cyfarthfa Iron Co style.

The interior is now subdivided by a blockwork cross wall. Each of the 4 bays has 3 timber queen-post trusses.
