Java Wharf

Java Wharf is a warehouse, later converted into flats, dating from approximately 1860 to 1870. It was partially rebuilt in the 20th century. Much of the original structure was destroyed by fire and subsequently reconstructed behind the original facade to create flats, retaining a similar dockside appearance. The building is constructed of stock brick with yellow and grey brick dressings and features a coped parapet. It stands five storeys high and comprises five bays, with the elevation angled along the road line between bays three and four. A new ground floor has been incorporated. Above the ground floor, two hatch ranks are visible, featuring segmental arches with bull-nosed engineering brick reveals, now adapted as balconies. Windows are set within segmental-arched, full-height recesses. The interior was not inspected during the listing process. Java Wharf marks the beginning of a notable surviving group of warehouses located between Shad Thames and St Saviour's Dock.
