What is recorded here

Detached gable-fronted five-bay double-height former creamery, built c. 1920, with corrugated-iron canopy to loading bays to north-west and south-west elevations. No longer in use. Pitched chamfered slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards to gables. Corrugated-iron walls on rendered plinth. Square-headed openings with concrete sills, boarded up with corrugated-plastic and corrugated-iron. Square-headed opening to south-west elevation having double-leaf timber battened door.
This example of an early twentieth-century creamery serves as a reminder of a local dairy farming industry in the area, prior to large-scale mechanisation throughout the countryside. The building is notable due to the use of corrugated-iron in its construction and its utilitarian design.
