History

This hut was built to support workers on the mountain. It was used to store tools, that were used to maintain the waterworks infrastructure.

The Bower Shelter Hut is about 40m to the north west.

Construction

Built of solid stone and concrete, originally with one window and a skillion roof.

It would be wonderful to see this hut restored, with a table and seat. It is very solid, but the roof needs replacing to start.
