Description
The Liverpool Warehouse, located in Grassington, is a Grade II listed building that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally built as a warehouse and general stores, it was altered in 1848 for William Cockshott. The structure is made of coursed gritstone rubble and features a graduated stone slate roof. It stands three storeys high with a three-bay main block that is defined by projecting long and short quoins, and a recessed bay to the left.
The shop entrance is situated between the second and third bays, featuring a plain stone surround and a shallow triangular pediment. This entrance is flanked by tall four-pane sash windows in plain stone surrounds, with a 20th-century shop frontage to the left. On the first floor, there are four four-pane sashes, with the central pair positioned closely together. The second floor has smaller square casement windows arranged similarly. The building includes stone gutter brackets, shaped kneelers, gable copings, and an ashlar stack on the right.
The recessed bay on the left has a 20th-century shop frontage and a loading door that has been converted into a window on the first floor, with a square window above. The gutter brackets, kneeler, coping, and end stack mirror those of the main block.
The building was established as a general stores during a period when Grassington's population was at its peak, coinciding with improvements in lead mining. The name "Liverpool Warehouse" indicates that much of the produce sold here was transported to Gargrave via the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, which was completed in 1816.
