Description

Mersey House is an early 20th-century building located on Fleet Street, consisting of five storeys. The façade is made of Portland stone, with some grey granite used for the large semi-circular arch at the ground level, which features a light screen made of timber and glass. Above this, there is a shallow bow extending over three storeys, adorned with mullioned and transomed windows, and flanked by rounded turrets. The top storey has a row of arched windows beneath a segmental gable.

Local climate

Mersey House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
