Cotton manufacturers' warehouse, now restaurants, etc. c.1845,

coursed rubble above, with rear of red brick in English bond
(roof not visible). U-plan: main range parallel to street,
with 2 rear wings. Basement and 4 floors, a 5-window range,
the ground floor of rusticated punch-dressed ashlar with plain
frieze and modillioned cornice, quoins to the upper floors,
modillioned cornice to 2nd floor, string-course and parapet to
top floor. The basement and ground floor are treated as a
rustic with a 9-bay arcade of segmental-headed arches, those
at the ends containing doorways with pilaster-and-cornice
architraves and the others equally divided into basement and
ground-floor windows (most of these openings altered, and
various signboards and canopies attached); the upper floors
have diminishing segmental-headed sashed windows with quoined
surrounds and keystones, those at 2nd floor with raised sills.
Rear: 2 large wings, 4 windows long and 2 windows wide, each
with a full-height loading slot in the gable wall, that to
No.39 with recessed stages and loading doors but the other now
blocked; large segmental-headed windows, many with original
16-pane sashes but others variously altered or damaged.
Interior not inspected. An early example of this type of
building in Manchester.
