Description

The British Waterway Board Canal Office is a canal office built between 1812 and 1816. It is constructed of multi-coloured stock brick, with the canal facade painted up to the first floor level. The building features slated, gabled cross roofs with projecting eaves at both the east and west ends, which form pediments. It has two storeys and a canal facade with three windows. There is a plain segmental arched doorway and segmental arched, recessed sash windows. The east facade includes a bracketed bow window at ground floor level. This building originally served as the toll collection point for the Paddington and Regent's branches of the Grand Union Canal.
