Appraisal
This warehouses retains its original form and fabric and is distinguished by utilitarian nineteenth-century construction materials. Coursed rubble stone walls are enlivened by brick and cut masonry quoins, window surrounds and eaves courses. Modest in scale and form, it adds significantly to the industrial heritage of this area, contextualised by the adjacent linen and yarn halls and paper-making site.
