Counting House At Cromford Wharf

The Counting House at Cromford Wharf was built in 1794 and further extended around 1820 for the Cromford Canal Company. It is constructed from coursed, squared, and dressed sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is two stories tall and has a polygonal shape.

The front of the building has a splayed gable with a six-panel door and overlight on the left, which is in an altered opening, next to a window that occupies the position of a former door. There is another window to the right of the door. Both windows have projecting stills, modern wooden shutters, and plain lintels. The right side of the building is positioned directly on the edge of the canal and features a two-light, squared faced mullioned window on the first floor with six-pane casements, along with a late 19th-century eaves stack made of blue and red brick. The left side has a boarded door with an overlight beneath inverted T-section lintels, and a broad window with modern shutters to the right. The eaves rise to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
