Single windows to left bay. Tall doorway to right bay; single windows above.

W ELEVATION: white glazed bricks; single windows.

Statement of Interest

The former warehouse (now converted into residential and restaurant) has stylistic similarities with the large warehouse at Nos 45, 46 Shore of 1912 and could be by the same (unknown) architect: this could be T P Marwick as the building bears his stamp.
