Description

SJ 68 NW APPLETON C.P. BIRCHDALE ROAD
(North Side)

3/6 Former Canal
Warehouse.

II

Warehouse (on south bank of Bridgewater Canal) probably late C18 with
early C19 extension. Brown brick in English garden wall bond. Roof
replaced in corrugated asbestos. 4 storeys (of which one is a
semi-basement to road). Symmetrical front to canal has a vertical
brick joint at centre to 4th storey lintel level, a circular
pitch-hole in gable and a pair of loading doors to each side on each
storey with combined lintels and cills of timber and remnants of
loading balconies; most of the boarded doors are altered. Right side
(from canal) has loading doors to 2nd, 3rd and 4th storeys and windows
to each side on each storey under round brick arches except top left
window which is square headed and blocked. Round-arched openings in
left half of face to Birchdale Road; a central vertical brick joint
(as on canal face) suggests that right (east) half was added, probably
early C19. Attached weatherboarded shed is not of special interest.
