Double Range Of Warehouses Immediately West Of Hartley Bridge, Chance'S Glassworks

This is a double range of warehouses located immediately west of Hartley Bridge, part of Chance's Glassworks, built around 1840 to 1852. The warehouses are constructed of brick and feature hipped slate roofs. They are arranged in two blocks connected by a lower section that previously housed a causting plant. The south side, which faces the Birmingham Level of the Birmingham Canal, consists of three storeys above a battered brick base. The western block has 12 bays with windows that have segmental heads, while the eastern block has 15 bays. In the seventh bay of the eastern block, there is a blocked opening with a round head on the lower storey, and the first floor window of the right-hand bay is also blocked. Hartley Bridge adjoins the structure on the right. Inside, the floors are supported by timber beams and a central row of cast iron columns, and the roofs feature bolted queen-post trusses.
