4, Walter's Wynd, Hawick

Much altered, three bay, three storey industrial building of vernacular construction. Appears to have been built as a house and has been extended by one storey for industial use at an early date. Sandstone rubble construction, original door and window openings feature red sandstone rybats. Structure has been partially rebuilt in brick in places. Loft doors to first and second floors of north-west gable and remains of a hoist.

May 2009: External inspection reveals that the masonry of the building is in a poor state of repair. The south-east gable is of particular concern as the masonry features large cracks and the rubble appears loose in places.

July 2011: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit. The building may be in use as a store.

26 September 2016: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously.

8 July 2021: Hawick’s Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) is underway. The CARS will include a range of heritage and conservation based regeneration activities within the town and will run until 2025. More information on the scheme and available grants within the CARS boundary area can be found on Scottish Borders Council website.
