Store building, c1863. The quarry opened c1816 when it was worked by William Turner. In 1863 it was bought by W A Darbishire & Co., after which it underwent substantial modernisation, reflected in the use of both water and steam power. During the 1890s about 450 men worked here; it finally closed in 1997.
Constructed of squared and coursed rubble with gable-ended graded slate roof. Long narrow building aligned approximately north-west to south-east. North-west (left) end has 4-bay open front with square piers and south-east end is former office with 4 tall rectangular window openings, some still with timber casements. Doorway in gable end.
Tie beam roof trusses.
Listed as part of the remarkably complete quarry complex at Pen-yr-Orsedd Slate Quarry, forming a group with other structures on Level VI, also important as one of the first structures erected during the quarry's modernisation after change of ownership in 1863.
