Description
The Centre Warehouse located at the rear of the Wharf Master's House on Manchester Road Canal Wharf is a canal warehouse, likely built in the mid-19th century. It is the third warehouse constructed on this site, bridging the gap between the first and second warehouses. The building features a coursed squared sandstone rear wall and south gable, topped with a slate roof. It has a trapeziform plan and is a high single-storey open-fronted structure, notable for its prominent full-width canopy supported by four full-height cast-iron columns with an I-beam "arcade plate" and a strapped queen-strut roof. The rear of the warehouse includes two altered wagon doorways. The interior has not been inspected. This warehouse is an important part of a group that includes the Wharf Master's House, the Toll Office, an attached warehouse, a north warehouse, a stable block on the east side of the yard, and the boundary wall and gateways to the yard.
