Description
Detached eight-bay three-storey former corn store, built c.1900, now in use as a whiskey warehouse. Pitched artificial slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Rubble limestone walls to east and west elevations with cast-iron wall-ties, brick walls to either gable end. Segmental-headed window openings now infilled with yellow brick.

Appraisal
A utilitarian former corn store that retains its early form and character. It is one of the later structures in the Locke's Distillery complex, being built c. 1900, and is an important part of the development of this important distillery complex.
