This coal store was almost certainly roofed, although how has never been certain. The present type of covering (asbestos cement sheeting) was installed in the 1930s when the building was converted to a railway workshop. Originally, it was believed that the original roof was slated. However, the discovery in September 2006 of red clay pantiles while digging was carried out around the building strongly suggests an original pantile roof. Pantiles are not uncommon on stone buildings in the area. Many old farmhouses and barns had such roofs.
