Warehouses, now flats. Late C18, altered late C20. Squared and
coursed sandstone with slate roofs and with ashlar dressings.
Comprises 2 blocks of rectangular plan with their gables to
the road.
The left-hand block has a double-width facade with paired
4-storey loading slots which have stone surrounds and now have
balconies and glazed doors. To each side is a bay of 3 storeys
which has sashed windows with plain stone surrounds, the
ground-floor ones within blocked doorways. At the left there
are raised quoins at the 3rd-floor level only. At the right is
a 3-storey 2-bay extension, at the corner of Pine Street,
which has sashed windows in plain stone surrounds. The
left-hand window on the ground floor is a late C20
reconstruction. To the left of the main warehouse is a late
C20 two-storey addition which replaces houses which were
demolished earlier in the century.
Despite alteration, Victoria Corn Mill is part of an
outstanding sequence of riverside warehouses surviving from
the C18 port of Lancaster. Included for group value.
