ST KATHERINE'S WAY E1
British and Foreign Wharves G warehouse
GV
II
Circa 1860-70 substantial but plain stock brick warehouse prominently sited by St Katherine's Dock and flanking west side of Alderman's Stairs. Five storeys with Nine bay front cranked with street line. Parapet coping. The end bays have one extra storey. Segmental gauged header brick arches to iron framed small pane windows, the window bays symmetrically disposed about three hatch ranks with shallow timber jambs. Late C19 flat plate iron hoists straight braced.
Riverside has a flat elevation of seven bays and is of five storeys throughout with parapet. Two symmetrically spaced hatch ranks to end and centre bays. Same fenestration as street front. Ground floors of hatch ranks have larger segmental arched loading bays.
Internal construction of timber floors on cast iron columns. One of the few remaining warehouse survivals on the once crowded street leading onto Wapping Way.
A vigorous building given strong character by its arched windows, and by the way in which it bends with the street. A good example of its period.
