Southern Warehouse at Cromford Wharf

The Southern Warehouse at Cromford Wharf is a canal warehouse built in 1823, with later additions, for Nathaniel Wheatcroft, according to the Arkwright Society archives. It is constructed from coursed, squared, and dressed sandstone, topped with a graduated Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and is arranged in three by one bays.

On the north side, there are two doorways on the ground floor, flanked by windows with flush sills. All openings feature massive lintels, although the openings were boarded at the time of the survey. To the left of the centre on the first floor, there is a doorway that has a later wooden balcony, with windows on either side that have slatted casements. The right end has a rebuilt ashlar stack.

The rear of the building, which faces the canal, has a central door flanked by windows beneath a slate-hung projection that is cantilevered on wooden beams and topped with a catslide roof. The east gable features enlarged double doors on the ground floor, with narrower double doors above in a stout wooden frame, and a bricked gable opening. A replica wooden crane is fixed to the wall. There are single-storey additions at the west end that form a link to the Counting House. The interior was not inspected.
