Iron Shed

The Iron Shed is a rectangular single-storey warehouse built between 1880 and 1890, located on Dock Street in Ellesmere Port and Neston. It features two parallel ridges and twin gables at the north-west and south-east ends. The exterior is made of red brick with recessed wall panels, blue brick surrounds, and gable cornices topped with stone copings. The roof is covered with slate. At the north-west end, there is a covered loading bay that extends over the arm of the canal, supported by plain cast iron columns, with vertical-boarded sides and ends at the upper level, each board end rounded decoratively. Each gable at the south-east end has an ornate circular iron ventilator. Inside, there are small workshops arranged along a central aisle.
