Description
Victoria Warehouse is a bonded warehouse built in 1849, now used as offices following a conversion around 1990. It was likely designed by John Jaques of Gloucester and constructed by William Jones for William Partridge, a corn merchant and property developer from Birmingham. The building is made of red brick with stone lintels and sills around the windows. Inside, there are timber floors supported by hollow cast-iron columns, and the roof is slate with timber barge boards at the gable ends and brick eaves cornices on the sides.
The warehouse is a large rectangular block, six storeys tall, with a basement and loft. The east gable end faces Victoria Dock. Each side features a full-height former loading door opening in the center, flanked by ten windows on each floor. The gable ends also have former loading door openings, each flanked by two windows on each floor and a single window in the gable. The former loading door openings have been infilled with late 20th-century windows and panels, while the original windows have been replaced with 20th-century side-hung sashes. Above each of the former loading doors on the side walls, there is a restored timber gabled cat-head canopy at eaves level.
Victoria Warehouse is one of three similar warehouses built alongside the construction of the Victoria Dock, the others being Britannia Warehouse, which has been rebuilt and is not included, and Albert Warehouse.
