Description

Bank Cottage, dating to around 1800, stands prominently on the canal bank. The building is constructed of stone and features a coved stone cornice. The front elevation has a central door, now sheltered by a modern glazed porch, and a two-storey bay window on each side. These bay windows incorporate three sash windows with stone mullions and sills. The rear elevation is lower, extending to three storeys (including cellars), and has three small sash windows on each floor. Bank Cottage, along with the British Waterways Office (No 50, Canal House), adjacent warehouses, and a capstan, form a notable group of canal-related buildings.

Bank Cottage sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 44 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 85% of listed buildings. Of these, 24 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
