Description
Healings Warehouse is a warehouse that was formerly Tewkesbury Brewery, built around the 1860s. It features sturdy 19th-century industrial architecture with English bond brickwork and a slate roof. The building has a gable facing the River Avon and a longer return frontage to Quay Street, positioned at an obtuse angle. It stands four storeys tall.
The Back of Avon side has a two-windowed design with arched multi-light replacements that include radial bars, set in blue brick bull-nose jambs with a flush stone key and flush chamfered cills. The ground floor originally had two arched doors; the left one is now blocked, while the right has a plank door set deep into the wall. There are four flush blue brick bands at the arch springings, and a plain rendered cill-band at the second floor, which once displayed the words 'TEWKESBURY BREWERY', though this has partially worn away. The gable features brick modillions beneath a three-course oversailing coping, with pilaster heads in brick capped with stone. A stone-carved medallion depicting a hand holding a wheatsheaf is prominently displayed in relief.
The Quay Street side also has four storeys and a three-windowed layout, with details similar to the Back of Avon side. It includes a frieze matching the gable pilaster-heads and various openings, including replacement lights set in blue brick jambs. There is a loading opening on the first floor with a pair of plank doors beneath an arch. The ground floor has two small blocked arched openings and one with a 20th-century door. The second floor features a decorative stone panel similar to that on the front. The rear gable mirrors the Back of Avon facade but has windows only on the second floor, with lower adjoining buildings having been removed.
Inside, the warehouse has a central row of cast-iron columns. Although it has been somewhat modified, Healings Warehouse remains a significant reminder of the area's industrial past and showcases the robust detailing typical of Victorian commercial architecture. It occupies an important position along both Back of Avon and Quay Street.
