Grain Warehouse

This is a grain warehouse, likely dating from around 1860, with alterations made in the mid and late 20th century, and a restoration in 1994. The building is constructed of brick, with stone dressings and a slate roof. It features a blue brick plinth and coped gables with kneelers. The structure is four stories high and originally had nine windows across and three windows deep. The windows are mainly segment-headed casements with cast-iron glazing bars. The canal-side elevation has nine windows on each floor, with four windows on the ground floor, flanked left by two cart openings and right by a single one, all with steel lintels. Both gables have similar window arrangements; the left gable has three windows on each floor and a single window in the gable itself, while the right gable mirrors this pattern. On the canal side, the ground floor openings are covered by a full-width canopy with a corrugated iron roof, above which are two gabled, full-height weatherboarded sack hoist towers. To the right is an articulated steel bulk grain elevator with a slated gable canopy. The interior has not been inspected. The warehouse was originally designed for the dry transfer of grain from boats to storage.
