Description
The building is a pair of canal warehouses with an attached office and house, located on the west side of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Constructed between 1801 and 1802 for the Leeds-Liverpool Canal Company, the structure features coursed sandstone and a roof made of slates and corrugated sheet. It has an L-shaped plan, with the warehouse facing the wharf consisting of eight bays, of which the seventh and eighth are later additions. The warehouse is two storeys high and includes wide double-tier loading doors in the third bay and smaller doors in the eighth bay, while the other bays have three-light windows on both floors, most of which have flush stone mullions. The left return wall displays a large blocked archway leading to the upper floor, and the two-bay house that continues this range has square windows. Attached to the left corner of the warehouse is a small square two-storey office with a pyramidal roof and external steps leading to the upper room. This item is part of a group with a stable block located on the opposite side of the canal.
