Two former Military huts, presumably in use until recently as maintenance huts for the Snibston Colliery. The left hut in particular resembles a typical (albeit modified) Nissen Hut, featuring the characteristic dormer windows. The right hut appears to be a completely different specification. Taken from the former railway for the Snibston Discovery Park, recently demolished and converted into a footpath.
