Appraisal
One of a group of interesting structures associated with Monard and Coolowen Ironworks, spade and shovel manufacturing enterprise established by Abraham Beale in the late eighteenth century. Closed late as 1960. Symmetrical fenestration showing evidence of conscious design. Enhanced by timber fittings and retention of roof slates. Interesting coloured glass to conservatory.
