Chaffey Hut is built of hand-sawn red beech, with a corrugated iron roof. It is no longer maintained. The hut took its name from Chaffey Stream, named after Henry Chaffey, who led a reclusive life in nearby Asbestos Cottage with his wife Annie from around 1914. The hut was built a year after Chaffey’s death in 1953 by forest ranger Jack McBurney.
