Autoglass, 7 Sugarhouse Quay, Newry, Co Down, BT35 6HZ

A three-storey/ double-pile warehouse aligned north-south at the corner of Sugar Island Quay and Basin Quay. Pitched natural slate roof with tiled verges. The inner pitch of the west pile has two skylights and a red brick chimney rises from its northern end. Half-round metal gutters to main facade (part missing); half-round plastic gutters to rear elevation. Walls of random rubble Silurian and granite masonry (quoins roughly squared). The main facade faces west onto the canal proper. At ground floor right is a painted t+g door with narrow rectangular transom over. To its left are three equi-spaced 1/2 top-hung timber windows. At first and second floors are four similar windows in line with ground floor openings; all but two have granite cills, and some jambs have been repaired with concrete blocks. All the openings have cement-rendered reveals and some also have vertical metal bars. The left elevation comprises two identical gables. Each has, at ground floor, a painted door (that at left t+g sheeted); the wall to immediate right of each door has been crudely rendered with cement. Internal inspection shows that there was originally a wider brick segmental-arched opening in line with the openings above, which was subsequently infilled when these more recent doors were inserted. In the middle of each gable, at first floor, is a painted double leaf t+g loading door, and another in line at second floor; both have granite heads and cills. In the apex of the gable is a cantilevered beam from which a hoisting pulley was slung. To the left of each of the upper floor doors is a single window opening, now sheeted over (that at top on right gable is 1/2 top-hung timber). Although they are all trimmed with concrete (and without cills), they are probably original openings rather than new insertions. The rear elevation is abutted across most of its surface at ground and first floor by a modern brick and metal-clad garage. At ground floor right is a window opening, now infilled with concrete blockwork. Directly above, at first floor, is a 1/1 top-hung window; internal inspection revealed three more window openings on this floor, all now infilled. There are four 1/2 top-hung windows across the second floor. None of the windows have cills. There is an opening at left into the ground floor from the abutting garage. The right elevation is abutted by an adjoining taller property. This is set back slightly from the frontage of the warehouse, and the exposed section of wall is smooth cement rendered. Affixed to the left quoin between first and second floors is a modern cantilevered electric light. To its right, on the main facade, is a modern fascia board reading 'Autoglass'. There is an identical fascia at the same level on the north gable of the east pile.
