Canal warehouse, now store. Probably c.1790; altered. Red brick in
English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings, slate roof.
Rectangular plan, 3 bays and 3 storeys; both sides and both gable walls
have loading bays with long-and-short jambs of sandstone, all (except south
end) containing 3 vertically stacked segmental-headed loading doorways
which have massive lintels with rusticated pseudo-voussoirs; the west side,
to the canal, has 2 loading bays, and between them a 3-light window on each
floor, with stone sills and heads, and the east side is a reciprocal
reflection of this, with one loading bay in the centre and windows each
side; all these loading doors have been altered as windows. The north
gable has a similar loading bay, but with the ground floor level still a
doorway; the south gable loading bay is approached by a ramp to 1st floor,
and has 2 unaltered doorways. Interior not inspected, but believed to be
of timber post and beam construction. Built to serve Leeds-Liverpool Canal
"new cut" from Burscough to Tarleton.
