Former brewery, now in use as store. Early C19. Brick with
Welsh slate roofs. The complex comprises 4 main buildings.
To the east, wide-span single-storey structure, with 8 arcaded
bays. Inserted door and windows in south elevation, and some
blocked openings in gable wall. 8 arcaded bays to river side
over battered basement storey with original windows in 4 bays,
with single ring cambered heads. Open to the roof inside, with
queen post roof trusses.
Adjoining this building to the west, and stepped forward, a
2-storeyed range of 3 bays, with one large and 2 narrow
segmental blind arches. Door and sash window to right,
inserted, and traces of original openings visible to left.
Upper windows with single ring cambered heads and iron glazing
bars probably original. 7 arcaded bays to river side with
blocked door in central bay and original windows with fixed
lights, some renewed.
Further building to rear, possibly a later addition, with flat
roof and 4-window range. Adjoining the 7-bay building to the
west, and stepped forward of it, a short 3-storey block with
inserted windows in gable end facing east, and traces of
original openings now blocked and cut by inserts. Semicircular
projection from the angle, now also cut by addition. Dentilled
eaves and coped gable.
Adjoining the 3-storeyed block to the west, and stepped
forward of it, 4-storeyed tower with adjoining chimney.
Inserted windows in lower floors, and traces of original
openings above on each floor. Gable end facing the river of 4
storeys, with blocked Venetian windows on each floor and
semicircular window above, also blocked. Extensively altered,
especially by the late C20 insertion of new openings which has
entailed the removal of part of the west wall.
