Victoria Corn Mill

Warehouses, dating from the late 18th century and altered in the late 20th century, now used as flats. Built of squared and coursed sandstone with slate roofs, and ashlar dressings. The building comprises two rectangular blocks with gabled ends facing the road. The left-hand block has a double-width front with paired loading slots on four stories, each within a stone surround, now fitted with balconies and glazed doors. Flanking this are three-story sections with sash windows in plain stone surrounds. The ground-floor windows are incorporated into what were originally doorways. Raised quoins are visible on the left-hand block, at the third-floor level only. A two-bay, three-story extension is situated on the right corner of Pine Street, featuring sash windows in plain stone surrounds. A window on the ground floor of this extension is a late 20th-century reconstruction. A two-story addition of the late 20th century is situated to the left of the main warehouse, replacing earlier houses demolished in the 20th century. Despite later alterations, Victoria Corn Mill contributes to an exceptional group of riverside warehouses that remain from the 18th-century port of Lancaster. The building is included on the list for its contribution to the group.
