Description



WARE TOWN

TL3613NW STATION ROAD
829-1/14/166 (East side)
18/09/84 Main Goods Shed at Ware Railway
Station

GV II

Railway goods shed incorporating granary. Mid C19. Brick with
hipped board and sheet roof. Main front of 9 bays:
semicircular windows set back under round gauged brick arches,
alternate with high-level rectangular windows with glazing
bars set in the top of tall recessed panels under camber
bricked arches, each with a parapet above. Simple brick eaves
cornice.
INTERIOR: the waggon entry is intact and the cast-iron columns
supporting the upper floor survive throughout. The waggon area
flanked by brick arches, has some machinery in situ, and the
granary floor, under a queen-post roof, retains a hoist area
and grain chute. This is a rare survival of an unusual
building type, its interest enhanced by association with the
extensive malting industry at Ware in the C19.
