General Offices


Having established the Hawarden Bridge Steelworks at Shotton by the beginning of the twentieth century John Summers & Sons Ltd built these General Offices for the business. Dated 1907, the building was completed in 1908 and the company then moved its headquarters here from Stalybridge.
It was listed Grade 2 in 2005. The CADW description for the listing states:
"A large prominent office building of 1907 by the architect James France, in Freestyle with Continental and Art Nouveau influences. Constructed of red brick with yellow terracotta detail under slated gambrel roofs, it has two storeys with basement and attics; the main (south) elevation is symmetrical with a central castellated tower. The building has a fine Art Nouveau interior."
I have been unable to identify the supplier of the terracotta but would expect it to have been on of the manufacturers from the Ruabon area.
Today the building stands empty and offered To Let along with the later adjacent canteen, office and laboratory buildings.
