SE2932 MARSHALL STREET, Holbeck 714-1/42/847 (West side) 09/03/87 Former flax warehouse to Marshall Mills (Formerly Listed as: MARSHALL STREET (West side) Former Mill Warehouse at junction of Marshall Street and Water Lane)

GV II*

Includes: No.125 WATER LANE Holbeck. Flax mill warehouse, now commercial premises. 1808, altered C20. For John Marshall. Brick in English garden wall bond (5:1), slate roof. 3-storey, 10-window range. Segmental brick-arched doors and windows, the latter with small-pane glazing and projecting stone sills; some inserted windows; an original door to right of centre and 2nd-floor loading doors on west (yard) side. INTERIOR: yard door, right opens into the original stair well: slate-type stone cantilevered treads, worn and repaired, 2 straight flights to each floor, wooden hand rail; cruciform-section cast-iron columns supporting inverted T-section cast-iron beams from which spring segmental brick arches. This was the first building Marshall built on the south side of Hol Beck when he extended his works in 1808 and it illustrates the early use of the cast-iron frame, being the earliest surviving of his Leeds buildings to use the cast-iron column and beam and brick-arch system. The warehouse stood at the north end of a row of mill buildings on Marshall Street (qqv).
