The Waterside (off Twist Lane).
Converted into a pub approx 1995.
The following was written in 1987:
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The former has loading doors on each foor in bay 3 (front and rear) with segmental arches (one of which has been replaced by a steel joist).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.
