Shipping warehouse, now clothing wholesalers' premises. Mid to later C19, altered. Red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Rectangular plan parallel to street, with shallow rear addition and internal loading bay entered from the front. Basement and 4 storeys, a 12-window facade (4 to No.66 and 8 to No.64), with sill-bands to all floors and corbel-table to the cornice; the ground floor has a rectangular loading entrance below the 5th and 6th windows, with cast-iron surround (and modern roller-blind door); otherwise all the openings have recessed reveals, those at ground floor round-headed, including slightly taller doorways with keystones at the left end and to the right of the loading entrance, windows with altered glazing and one altered as a doorway; and those of the upper floors all segmental-headed sashes. The right-hand return wall has segmental-headed windows on all floors (3 at ground floor with damaged jambs), and a 3-storey 3-window addition to the rear. INTERIOR: 3 rows of cast-iron columns, wooden beams; internal loading bay with a full-height loading slot in each side, that to No.66 (left side) with a massive wall-crane but the other filled with inserted heating ducts. The item is probably one of the earliest warehouses in this street.
