Canal warehouse on the Bridgewater Canal. 1833 on keystone.
Brick with stone dressings and asbestos and slate roofs.
3-storey block, square in plan with an opening into which a
branch of the canal passes. There are C20 additions to
right, left and rear which are not of special interest.
Five bays with stone plinth, eaves cornice and parapet. The
central bay is advanced and has a pediment with circular
opening (now blocked) and moulded surround, rusticated
quoins as well as rusticated voussoirs and keystone to the
2-storey high barge entry (now blocked) and a Venetian
window with dated keystone. There were a total of six
semicircular-headed brick arched openings with stone sills to
either side of the central bay none of which retain original
glazing and two of which on the left hand side have been
removed to facilitate the addition of a cast iron stair.
The 6-bay left side elevation retains seven similar arched
openings and formerly had two full-height loading bays with
hoist canopies (one blocked up). The rear has a pediment to
the central two bays and retains six arched openings to the top
floor only.
