Warehouse At Corner Of Robinson Row

A former warehouse, now offices, dating from around 1850 and restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick with painted ashlar dressings and has a hipped and gabled slate roof. It features a plinth, ground floor and first-floor sill bands, a moulded wooden gutter and eaves supported by stucco scroll brackets. The windows are primarily plain sashes to the front and glazing bar sashes to the left return. The warehouse is four stories high and has 11 windows across the front and 5 windows on the left return. A corner section has a blind, rounded angle. The King Street front has five round-arched windows with pilastered surrounds, moulded heads and keystones, linked by impost bands. Above these are five windows with eared and shouldered surrounds, and above those again, five smaller windows with simpler surrounds. Moulded stucco panels between the floors are inscribed "Merchants... London & Manchester Warehousemen." A large round-arched entrance with rusticated pilasters and a voussoir arch is on the ground floor to the right, now containing a late 20th-century glazed door and fanlight. To the left of the entrance are four windows with pilastered surrounds and triangular pediments on scroll brackets. The left return, facing Robinson Row, has similar fenestration on the upper floors, with 12-pane sashes. The ground floor here features a double door consisting of 12 panels, flanked to the left by six 12-pane sashes and to the right by four similar sashes. All have cornices on brackets. To the extreme left of the Robinson Row frontage is a single-storey range with two segment-headed cart entrances.
