Warehouse. Probably c.1810; altered. Brick in English garden
wall bond, the facade stuccoed except for a glazed screen at
1st floor, hipped slate roof. Right-angled Z-plan formed by a
front range on a narrow plot at right-angles to the street, a
range to the right from the rear of this, and a short rear
wing to this; all single-depth. Three storeys over cellars, a
3-bay facade with plinth, stuccoed rustication at ground
floor, 1st-floor sill-band, over-sailing 2nd floor with
sill-band, and prominent bracketed eaves. The ground floor has
an altered central doorway flanked by almost-square windows
with altered glazing; the 1st floor has a full-width opening
with an iron lintel carried on 4 slender twisted cast-iron
columns behind which is a tripartite glazed screen with
horizontal glazing bars; and the 2nd floor has
segmental-headed sashed windows without glazing bars. The left
return wall has segmental-headed windows, those at ground
floor all partly blocked, those in the 4th bay all with
altered surrounds (suggesting alteration of former loading
slot), otherwise mostly sashed without glazing bars except one
12-pane sash in the 4th bay. The rear of the range at
right-angles, 5 bays, has similar segmental-headed windows,
those at ground floor barred and with altered glazing, those
above apparently 4-pane casements; and the rear wing has
(inter alia), a doorway near the angle, 2 blocked windows
above this and another at 2nd floor, and a former doorway at
1st floor with a small cast-iron balcony on ornamental
cast-iron brackets. Interior: uniform construction throughout
(including cellars), consisting of wooden beams with small
chamfer, the inner ends supported on rounded piers, with some
intermediate cast-iron columns which have small moulded caps
and square abaci; king-post roof trusses with wrought-iron
stirrups and peg-and-cottar fixings, haunched and jowelled
king-posts with fishbone struts, and trenched overlapped
purlins. History: deeds include 1810 conveyance from corn
dealer to chapman.
