Ogilivie Colliery Explosives Store

A small brick single-storey building with a vaulted roof two bricks thick, with battered walls tapering from 0.62m thickness at Im above ground level to 0.5 m. The arch springs from a plinth at the wall heads. The structure was rendered to the outside to protect the arch from frost. There is a tall louvred window at a high level at each end, and small square ventilation holes all around with renewed iron gratings. The doorway, at the eastern end, has an iron frame with external hinges to the metal door; louvred above. There are slate-hung timber lintels to the doorway and windows. Render has recently been renewed in cement with stainless steel edgings so no building materials are currently identifiable externally.
