A 45. Built circa 1760 for the salt boiling industry the buildings were probably salt pans with housing above. The blocks are 2-storey, rectangular in plan, gabled, with end stacks. The buildings are well preserved. Survey description 2003: On the edge of the Golf Course who use it for storage of equipment, access to the interior controlled by the Greenkeeper. A gravelled track currently lies immediately to the north of the structures and between this track and the connecting wall, there is a large dump of bunker sand storage. This wall is of two phases, the latest of brick, the lower of dressed and mortared freestone. ShoreUPDATE 06-10-2015: Canmore has a full description of these A listed buildings which are on the Buildings at Risk register. The buildings are dilapidated and in disrepair. The roofs appear sound. However, there is serious erosion of the mortar bonding of the external walls probably caused/exacerbated by now patchy cement rendering. Pigeons were observed entering and leaving the buildings on the site visit. Vegetation growth especially on the east side of the east pan house may be damaging the structure. |
