Description


LEIGH CANAL STREET
SD 69 NE
Former Canal
6/23
Warehouse
II
Canal warehouse, now warehousing. Late C18 stone-built
warehouse with late C19 brick-built addition. Graduated
stone slate and slate roofs respectively. 4-bay 2-storey C18
warehouse and 5-bay 3-storey C19 warehouse. The former has
loading doors on each foor in bay 3 (front and rear) with
segmental arches (one of which has been replaced by a steel
joist). Bays 2 and 3 have 3-light flat-faced stone mullion
windows on each floor (front and rear) and bay 1 a canted 2-
storey bay window. Ridge chimney stack. The later warehouse
is considerably deeper and taller having four 16-pane
casement windows with segmental brick arches on each floor
and central loading doors with blue brick dressings and a
gable above the eaves. The eaves have dentilled brick
detailing. Coped gables. Similar elevation to rear but with
a large projecting canopy over the loading doors. An
interesting juxtaposition of C18 and C19 industrial
architecture.
