Description

The Old Granary is a former granary dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of chequer brick and features a pitched tile roof with stone slates above the eaves. The building has red brick stacks and stands three storeys tall with attics. The façade includes three ranges of segment-headed casements with glazing bars, and a Neo-Georgian doorcase. On the south elevation, there are two ranges of segment-headed casements with glazing bars, along with one in the attic. Additionally, there is one attic dormer that has a hipped tile roof, tile-hung cheeks, and a casement with glazing bars. The Old Granary is part of a group of listed buildings on The Quay.
