Appraisal
The variety of materials, such as the red brick, painted render and slate utilised in the construction of this former factory combine to create a colourful addition to the streetscape. This building is an interesting reminder of the industrial heritage associated with this part of the city, and it forms part of an interesting former industrial group with the former warehouses to the south and west.
