History
C18 vernacular outbuilding formerly used as smithy. The building is not annotated on the Tithe Map of the parish of Llantrisant, 1843, but not all of the buildings have been drawn and most of the agricultural and industrial buildings have been omitted. The adjacent house at Glan Hafren is recorded in both the Tithe Schedule and also the Census Returns for the parish, 1841; owned by Edward Edmund Meyrick Esq, a small holding of just 1 acre (0.41 hectares) housing William Williams, blacksmith, and his family.
Exterior
C18 outbuilding range comprising smithy to R (E) and lower cartshed to L. Built of rubble masonry. Roof to smithy of small old slates, heavily grouted with stone coping and reduced gable stack to R (E) with dripstones; cartshed now with corrugated iron roofing. The smithy has a door to L (W) and a small window within a partially blocked opening to its R; the cartshed has a wide doorway to the R (E) end.
Interior
Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding condition, as a good C18 smithy which retains vernacular character and forms a group with the adjacent Glan Hafren and roadbridge, Pont Hafren.
