Warehouse and Bridgewater Canal Company agent's house. Early C19. Brick in English garden wall bond; slate roofs. The warehouse (3 storeys) and house (2 storeys) are of one build and are aligned E-W along the S bank of the Bridgewater Canal. Warehouse; both fronts almost identical, 5 bays, the second from the E with opposed taking-in doorways to each floor (one with original or early planked doors with strap hinges), all under projecting gabled cathead with hoists intact. Doorway to yard (S) converted with sliding door. Windows all under segmental brick arches with various (20 frames and casements ; one window opening (to N) altered. Later lean-to in brick to S. House adjoins to W, its N face flush with warehouse, but projecting considerably to S: regular 2 window range to both canal and roadside; the former with 3-light casements under flat arches, and a tiny 1st floor left (perhaps to light stair). Roadside front: ground-floor windows under segmental arches ; all windows have late-C19 horned sashes (with glazing bars to upper sash only). Doorway to right, with round-headed arch and fanlight, panelled door. End doorway with stone surround, the jamb to the right also forming the rounded quoining to the SW angle of the house. Low contemporary out-build- ings to E and W. Interior not inspected. These buildings are understood to be the last surviving 'station' (for receiving goods, mainly for Manchester, and despatching agricultural goods and paper from Partington Mill) on the Bridgewater Canal.
