Former gunpowder works building (probably charcoal-crushing shed); then stable; now disused. C18, probably 1st half; altered. Rubblestone, corrugated iron roof. North-east (road side) elevation: 3 storeys, lowered to 2; 3 bays. Quoins. On left a blocked doorway; to centre a window with doorway above in former, quoined, window opening; to right a doorway with blocked quoined, window opening above; ground-floor openings are later insertions, all openings have wooden lintels. Sloping roof, partly collapsed. Left return: brieze-block patching and later door on left. Interior: inserted partition wall and evidence of inserted floors. Rear wall has deep, curving recess which originally would have been the back of the wheel pit; above it is a blocked brick-arched opening (former water-entry point). Overgrown and derelict at time of inspection This building is believed to have been the charcoal-crushing shed to the Woolley Gunpowder Works which operated from the 1720s to c.1803. It is the only extant example of this type of structure associated with gunpowder manufacture. It is listed for historical interest.
