ELLESMERE PORT AND NESTON;MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL
SJ 47 NE Magazine building,
(47477787) Ince Banks
4/1 II
Building for storing explosives; probably just prior to 1888. Built by the
Manchester Ship Canal Company well away from canal workings and areas of population
for safety reasons. Now used on casual basis by wild-fowlers and bird watchers.
Red brick with slate roof. Single storey raised on piers, divided into 3 bays
x 2 bays by the piers which continue up as pilasters on the main elevation.
The piers support semi-circular arches and there are angle buttresses to the
corner piers which also continue upwards as pilasters. All pilasters join a
deep projecting brick band below eaves level which gives the impression of
construction in large sunk brick panels. The south-east elevation contains
a central door opening under a segmental arch and window openings are narrow
slots at high level. Hipped roof with blue clay tiles. The raised floor is
both a precaution against seasonal flooding and a blast reducing measure.
