Description

Kirkham Garage is a former warehouse, now used as a garage, believed to have been a cider depot. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of local red breccia rubble with some grey limestone at the base. The building features a slate roof that is hipped at the Mill Lane end and gabled at the Kirkham Street end.

The structure has a long, narrow, rectangular plan with a slight angle change on the Kirkham Street side and a rounded corner facing Mill Lane. It stands three storeys tall and has a five-window elevation facing Kirkham Street, with regular window spacing. The ground and first-floor windows have breccia voussoirs, while the second-floor windows, positioned high above the eaves, have timber lintels. The timber windows either have 20th-century glazing or are blocked. The ground floor includes a secondary double doorway that has been created in the second bay from the right. The roof extends over the rounded corner to Mill Lane.

On the Mill Lane end, there is an enlarged ground-floor doorway with ragged brick jambs and a loft loading door, likely replacing two smaller loading doors. Inside, most of the carpentry on the first and second floors has been removed, although slots for joists remain. The masonry at the Mill Lane end suggests there were former loft doors to the first and second storeys. The roof structure at the Mill Lane end is from the late 20th century, but an earlier roof may still exist at the rear.
