Blaen Methyn Communal Dipping Shed

The tin house was a communal dipping place built in 1918 and used until 1994. It was built by Birmingham Corporation. There were five or six built on the estate, but this is believed to be the only one still standing. It included a concrete sheep dip fed from water diverted from the Nant Methan via a small sluice.
