constructed first by Joseph Clayton of Preston, then by
P.D.Bennett & Co of West Bromwich, and finally by Willam
Allsup. Cast-iron columns, wrought-iron girders and principals
with tension bars, hipped slate roof with red ridge tiles.
Rectangular plan on east-west axis. A tall open-sided
structure, following a downward slope from east to west, 13x3
bays. The columns have square pedestals with dog-toothed
panels, 3 marked "J.CLAYTON PRESTON" and 31 with "W.ALLSUP"
superimposed, clustered shafts with foliated caps, and large
open-work brackets carrying trellis girders with applied
ornamentation; attached at right-angles to the girders are
prominent curved open-work brackets to oversailing eaves. Roof
of close-set principals with wrought-iron tension bars.
History: collapsed while under construction, August 1870;
completion delayed by disputes between designer and
contractors, and by appeal to Sir William Fairbairn. Forms
