WORSLEY THE GREEN SD 70 SW 1/58 Former Oil Store (formerly listed 1/10/74 under canal side) G.V. II.
Oil and powder store for canal and mining operations. Converted to flats in 1986. 1852 on datestone. English garden wall bond brick with slate roof and stone dressings. T-shaped plan with a total of 7 bays and 2 storeys. The building resembles a medieval tithe barn in some respects. 1986 wings added to rear. Each bay has a large segmental-arched ground floor opening with glazed door and window, and a 3-light first floor window with stone lintel and sill. All the above openings are of 1986 date. Weathered buttresses which are angled at corners. Coped gables with finial. A C20 oriel window to the right gable includes a datestone. It is flanked by original window openings with flat brick arches. The additions are executed in a similar style. Interior: impressive cross-vaulted floor in brick construction. The heavy wall and floor construction was no doubt to minimise damage in the case of an explosion.
