What is recorded here
Detached five-bay double-height railway goods shed, built c.1863, with one-bay single-storey block to east. Now disused. Pitched slate roofs with brick chimneystack. Coursed limestone rubble walls with dressed stone quoins and verges. Segmental-headed windows, some one-over-one pane timber sliding sash, with brick surrounds and awning to track-side elevation. Segmental-headed carriage arches to northern entrance elevation, with timber battened double-leaf doors. Trussed timber roof and timber crane to interior.
This is a most notable example of industrial heritage, forming part of a group of railway buildings with the stationmaster's house, the railway station, and the railway bridge. Now disused, it is a physical reminder of the importance of Cloghjordan as a market town in times past. The segmental-headed openings with their neat brick dressings are evidence of the design and craftsmanship employed in this building. The canopy formed by the overhanging eaves to the north is a striking feature.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
