Description

Buchanans Wharf is a former mill and granary, now converted into flats, constructed between 1883 and 1884. The building is primarily red brick with limestone detailing. It is an open-plan structure of eight storeys, with a four-window granary section on the north side and a seven-window mill section. Articulation is achieved through pilasters that create shallow, full-height recesses topped by dentil detail, below a cornice. Semicircular ashlar arches are linked on the ground floor, and wide sill bands are positioned below the second and fourth floors. Modern glazed openings have segmental arches. The granary features French windows in the second and fourth recesses and inserted windows in a former chimney. A small central gable sits above oriel hoist bays flanking a tall central top-floor window. The mill has a large semicircular-arched window on the ground floor and modern windows in blind panels at the top storey.

The interior contains cast-iron columns and features late 20th-century offices and flats. The complex was originally built by Proctor Baker, with the two blocks connected by high-level conveyors. The building holds group value as a significant example of late 19th-century industrial architecture.
