Description
The Former Oldfield's Machine Tools Warehouse, located at 15 Abercorn Street, dates back to 1924. It is a two-storey, nine-bay gabled warehouse constructed from red brick, which is likely supported by a steel or iron frame, and features some red sandstone dressings. The building has a base course, a ground floor red sandstone cill course that continues as a string course on the smaller adjoining structure, and an upper floor that is slightly corbelled out with a brick eaves course. The main section is divided by plain brick pilasters that are corbelled out at the upper floor, with tall segmental-arched windows on the ground floor and smaller segmental-arched windows on the upper floor, which have projecting sandstone eaves and corbelled brick skewputts.
The principal elevation faces east towards the road and includes a two-leaf timber-boarded entrance door across the two left-hand bays, six ground floor windows in the central bays, and upper floor windows in alternate bays. The west elevation, which faces the river, has similar fenestration. The north elevation features a three-bay gable with tall windows at the ground level and an oculus window with a raised margin at the gable apex. The east elevation of the lower block has a three-bay gable with later entrance doors set within a central segmental-arched architrave, adorned with polychrome voussoirs and a large prominent keystone, all within a shallow rectangular recess. Above this, there is an oculus window with a raised tabbed margin at the gable apex, and terracotta panels inscribed 'G.C.O.' and '1924' flank the entrance. The outer bays have slightly lower rectangular recesses with two small windows on each side that break through the string course. The south elevation has four pilastered bays with segmental-arched windows.
The building predominantly features metal-framed fixed lights and tilting hopper windows on the upper floor. It has ashlar-coped skews and a Welsh slate roof, with three iron vents with conical tops along the roof ridge, while two vents on the lower building no longer have conical tops.
