Description
Detached five-bay single-storey former railway goods shed, built c.1860. Now in use as hardware storage building. Pitched slate roof with roof vents. Rubble limestone walls built to courses, with embossed pointing. Round-arch window openings with glazed timber windows, rock-faced voussoirs with smooth soffits, rock-faced block-and-start surrounds and replacement concrete sills. Square-headed door openings with replacement doors to north elevation. Set within large yard, with rubble limestone boundary wall, with water pump set within red brick housing.
Appraisal
This goods shed is a reminder of the railway complex at Clones, now defunct. It is relatively intact and the well built arched openings betray classical influences. It is a typically good-quality example of nineteenth-century railway architecture.
