Description
The Montgomery Canal Canal Warehouse is a transhipment warehouse located at the former canal wharf in West Felton. It dates from the mid-19th century and features a combination of brick and timber framing with a slate roof. The building stands two storeys tall, with a brick lower storey and a timber-framed upper storey that includes brick infill panels. The gables are wooden slatted with plain bargeboards, and there are four circular, decorated iron tie-plates near the corners of the structure.
On the roadside gable wall, there is a planked loading door that slides open, while the canalside gable wall has a similar door at canal level, along with an off-centre window in the upper storey above. The east wall features two sets of double loading doors, one set positioned above the other. Inside the upper storey, there is a plank floor supported by two industrial king-post roof trusses that carry purlins and rafters. This warehouse is a rare surviving example of a rural canal and road transhipment warehouse, a type that was once more common along the Shropshire Union Canal system. It has group value with the adjoining listed Bridge No 74 and with Heath House.
