[Near the station NT75SE 89] is a 3-storey, 7-bay granary (still used as such) with a central hoist and a louvred roof ventilator.
J R Hume 1977.
As there were proposals to demolish this granary, a photographic survey of this structure was undertaken, by RCAHMS in February 1998.
Visited by RCAHMS(MKO), February 1998.
Symmetrical, 3-storey 6-bay. Dressed rubble cream sandstone with long and short stugged ashlar dressings. Segmental-headed openings to each bay of 1st and 2nd floors; larger at 1st floor. Timber sash and case windows; irregular sashes, windows with 20 panes at ground and 1st floor floor and 12 panes at 2nd floor. Piended roof; grey slates; S face replaced by corrugated-iron. At apex, pitch-roofed weatherboarded cap house with windows to N and S and ventilator course. This dignified building is empty and vandalised, although still seems watertight. There is a coal yard immediately to the S. The railway line, which came right up, was closed by Beeching. Note the Gasworks house immediately to the E with which this building was related.
