U-Shaped Group including Welding and Fitting Shop, Blacksmiths Shop and Tea Shop

The U-shaped group includes a Welding and Fitting Shop, a Blacksmiths Shop, and a Tea Shop. The buildings are whitewashed, with hipped slate roofs on the outer ranges and a corrugated iron roof on the central section, featuring brick chimney stacks.

On the left is the two-storey brick Welding and Fitting Shop, which was adapted to replace the original workshop, now serving as the Museum Reception. This shop housed tools for repairing mining equipment, including two forges for sharpening picks. It features a wide ground-floor door flanked by windows with metal lintels, and a single casement window above with a timber lintel. There is a later extension to the north-east.

Adjacent to it is the six-bay rubble Blacksmiths Shop, where most tools and equipment for the colliery were built before mechanisation. Originally, there were nine forges, of which four remain intact, and it was in use until 1974. The front faces north-east and has two wide doorways with iron lintels and four windows with cambered brick arches. The south-west roof pitch is marked by five brick chimneys.

To the north-west is the brick range that now serves as the Tea Shop, previously functioning as the Stables and Electrical Shop. This area was essential for maintaining electrical equipment, insulating cables, and re-winding motors. It features various doorways, including two camber-headed and one square-headed, along with two iron-framed windows, all with angled stone sills.

The Blacksmiths Shop retains four brick hearths and two winches on the south-west wall, as well as bellows, anvils, and wooden king-post trusses. The former Electrician's Shop has been converted into a Tea Shop, while the Stables still have stalls and cast-iron watering troughs on brick bases, along with a tiled floor and similar trusses.
