SD78NE DENTDALE 162-1/12/48 (North side) 10/01/91 Building (former workers' barracks) approx. 100m SSE of Dent Railway Station

GV II

Former railway navvies' barracks. Late 1860s (the Settle and Carlisle branch of the Midland Railway was under construction between 1866 and 1875). Mixed random rubble with remains of whitewash, sandstone quoins and dressings, slate roof with chimneys of blue engineering brick. Rectangular single-depth plan on north-south axis facing track to east, in 2 halves, the northern half divided between an office and a store and the southern half an open navvies' barrack room with a central chimney stack. EXTERIOR: one low storey, 2:2 windows: the barracks room to the left with a central doorway flanked by windows and the other half with 2 windows flanked by 2 doorways. The doorways are square-headed and full-height, with chamfered lintels painted red and board doors, and the windows are oblong with red sandstone quoining to the jambs, and chamfered sills and lintels (the lintels painted red) and 8-pane fixed glazing. Each half has a ridge chimney in the centre. The south gable wall has a window like those at the front. INTERIOR: the barracks room has a massive rectangular free-standing chimney stack in the centre, with iron bar grates in the north and south ends; some remains of wooden benches attached to the walls; a square window opening in the partition wall to the office; and an unceiled common rafter roof. A rare survival of navvy living quarters; other known examples have been substantially altered. Forms group with Old Station (qv) and Passenger Waiting Room at Dent Station (qv), both approx. 150m north-west.
