About the Building
Many buildings were demolished in Lower Monk Street in the 1970’s. Skinyard was demolished in 1975.
It was a typical wool warehouse, two or three stories high, with large doors on each floor with a hoist (pulley wheel) at roof level to lift bales. It backed onto the Gavenny River.
Recent History
Before demolition it was owned by Wool Producers of Wales, the lower floors used for storage, the upper floors for grading.
