Warehouse And Canal Cottage At Dugdale Wharf

The building is a canal warehouse, now functioning as a workshop, with an attached cottage, likely built in the mid-19th century and altered over time. It is constructed from sandstone random rubble, with stone slate roofs. The warehouse is rectangular, oriented east-west, and sits adjacent to the canal, while the cottage is a full-height outshut on its south side, under a roof that extends down.

On the exterior, the warehouse has two storeys and features a symmetrical gabled east front with two windows. The ground floor has an altered wagon doorway in the center, now closed by sliding doors, and above it is a large round-headed loading doorway with quoined jambs, plain voussoirs, and double board doors. There are two small square windows on each floor, all with plain sills and lintels; the upper windows have very small panes. Attached to the right corner of the warehouse is the shaft of a wooden jib crane. The north side of the warehouse, which faces the canal, has similar loading doorways in the first bay on both floors, along with two small square windows on each floor beyond those. The rightmost first-floor window is blocked, while the others have 6-pane glazing.

Inside, there are two rows of cast-iron columns and queen-post roof trusses. The cottage features a small altered single-storey porch at the front and a small sashed window above it. Its south side has a doorway to the left with a small gabled wooden porch, a 4-pane sashed window to the right, and a small sashed window without glazing bars above the doorway. There is also a tall side-wall chimney to the right. The interior of the cottage has not been inspected.
