11-20, CANAL WHARF

Nos. 11-20 Canal Wharf are coal offices built around 1870 and restored around 1985 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company. The structure is made of coursed rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with five ridge stacks. It has a plinth, a stepped first-floor band, and coped gables. The building has a curved plan and is built into a slope, resulting in two storeys on the wharf side and a single storey at the rear, which faces the former railway coal yard.

The windows are plain sashes, while the doors have four panels and overlights, although the ground floor openings are boarded up. On the wharf side, there is a near-central double gable with two windows, flanked by five windows to the left and four to the right. The ground floor features ten doors and ten windows arranged in pairs, with single doors at either end. The height of the openings increases towards the right due to the slope of the ground. The rear has a similar central double gable and a projecting left gable with a double sash. There are three doors to the left without overlights, and three doors to the right that are accessed by a raised pavement with renewed iron railing. The interior was not inspected, and the building was vacant at the time of the survey. This building provided office accommodation for both rail and canal-based coal merchants.
