Stoke'S Warehouse

Stoke's Warehouse, located at 53 Silver Street, dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is a three-storey building constructed of colourwashed stucco. The front features a band between the storeys, a band cornice, and a brick parapet with stone coping. The upper floors have four windows with recessed sashes that retain their glazing bars, all equipped with Venetian shutters. The ground floor showcases an early 19th-century double shop front with two low windows lacking glazing bars, a modern glazed central door with a plain semi-circular fanlight, and a moulded frame flanked by pilasters under a later frieze supported by five Doric columns. A secondary door with a semi-circular fanlight has been converted into a window.

The New Canal front presents an early 19th-century warehouse made of red brick with some grey headers, featuring a low pitch gable end slate roof with flat eaves. The bay front has off-centre superimposed hatches, with the top hatch having a deeply cantilevered gable above. There is a cast iron hoist with circles in the spandrel nearby, along with a smaller cast iron hoist to the right on the second floor. The upper floors have nine windows, with two being blind on each floor, and they consist of two-light thin mullioned small-paned iron casements with cambered arches. The ground floor includes a double mid-19th-century shop front to the left with a panelled pilaster frame, frieze, and moulded cornice. To the right, there are altered doors and windows. A lower three-storey section of two bays to the right has flat eaves on paired brackets, with two large three-light wood casements on the second floor, one similar casement, and a four-pane sash in a flush frame on the first floor, along with two later sash windows on the ground floor.
