Without going there, I'm unable to say, JnC.
However, why are the cladding slates so widely, horizontally spaced? ie why the gaps between them?
Surely not for lack of slate!

My guess is, is that it was a quick bodge to cover what was essentially a timber building over the winch on top of the tip. i.e artistic verisimilitude (to quote G&S) originally Llechwedd's winch huts were plain wooden.

Still there but in very poor state, covered in silly graffitti and does not represent a victorian winding house, more a suburban bus stop! 😠

Definitely not Victorian - originally 1920's I reckon.

Yeah! It, and the tip, are absent in many photo's, only appearing in more 'recent' (turn of the century) photo's 😉
