Description

The former Railway Dock Warehouse, now converted into flats, was designed by Edward Welsh in 1857. It was partly demolished in 1972 and underwent conversion in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick with stone sills, and its roof is not visible. It features cogged eaves, a renewed coped parapet, and gables. The structure has seven storeys and a window arrangement of seven by nine. The windows are cast-iron glazing bar casements with segmental heads, with the ground-floor windows being taller.

The east front has a parapet topped with a single gable, and there is a central blank window on each floor flanked by full-height segment-headed recesses that were formerly loft doors, now reglazed to form French windows with guard rails. Between the ground and first floors, there are wrought-iron balconies, and the ground floor features recessed 20th-century doorways. On either side of these doorways, there are pairs of small windows on each floor.

The left return to Kingston Street has three gables, each with a round opening. In the centre, there are three windows on each floor, and on either side, segment-headed recesses with loft doors have been reglazed to form French windows, with a 20th-century door and overlight at the foot of each recess. Beyond this, there are two windows on each floor on either side. The rear elevation has generally similar fenestration. It is important to note that the eastern wing, which was previously listed, has been demolished.
