Place & story
A local industry in stone and brick
The architectural inventory dates Shanagolden Creamery to about 1920. Its name plaque identifies the Shanagolden Co-Op Dairy Society Ltd. The long, single-storey building has a double-pile plan, decorative rendered surrounds and sash windows. A tapered brick chimney stands to the north, while an outbuilding completes the recorded complex to the south. These surviving industrial forms distinguish the creamery from the village’s houses and churches. [2]
