This is a block of mostly single-storeyed yellow Ayrshire fireclay brick sheds. The S portion comprises a two-storeyed block (9 bays long) extending to a rounded corner onto Union Street and Ladeside. The N single storeyed portion is 7 bays long. The W (Union Street) frontage comprises a typical pattern of shallow segmentally arched windows in each bay, separated by pilasters, with a saw-tooth course close to the wallhead. The Ladeside frontage's windows differ in that they are rectangular, with brick voussoirs and central keystones. The works is empty, derelict and severely vandalised.
