Description
Bank Bridge Warehouse is a canal warehouse that has been converted into a store. It was probably built around 1790 and has undergone alterations. The building is made of red brick in English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with three bays and three storeys.
Both sides and the gable walls feature loading bays with long-and-short jambs of sandstone. All sides, except for the south end, contain three vertically stacked segmental-headed loading doorways, which have large lintels with rusticated pseudo-voussoirs. The west side, facing the canal, has two loading bays with a three-light window on each floor between them, all featuring stone sills and heads. The east side mirrors this layout with one loading bay in the centre and windows on either side; however, all loading doors have been altered to serve as windows.
The north gable has a similar loading bay, but the ground floor still retains a doorway. The loading bay on the south gable is accessed by a ramp to the first floor and has two unaltered doorways. The interior has not been inspected but is believed to be constructed of timber post and beam. The warehouse was built to serve the Leeds-Liverpool Canal "new cut" from Burscough to Tarleton.
