Description
This is a grain warehouse built in 1868 by G. F. Lister, located to the north of Grain Warehouse Dock. The structure is made of brick with stone dressings and stands six storeys tall, measuring 18 by 5 bays. Originally, it extended further to the east. The base is rock-faced stone with quoins, and there is a sill course at the first floor and a top corbelled parapet. The windows feature projecting brick segmental lintels with key and impost stones, although most are now bricked up. The first bay includes a one-stage turret topped with a pavilion roof, which is connected by a bridge to a corresponding turret on the warehouse to the south of Grain Warehouse Dock. The fifth, eleventh, and fifteenth bays serve as loading bays that project forward. There is a 20th-century projecting tower on the south facade, and the granite dock wall is partially obscured by infill.
