Great Western Railway Warehouse
The Great Western Railway Warehouse and Office, North of the Canning Graving Docks
Circa 1850 and 1890
Unlisted
This is an unusual railway warehouse, designed for 'boatage' cargoes brought by the GWR from their extensive premises at Morpeth Dock, Birkenhead to the now-infilled Manchester Dock, for onward delivery by road vehicles in Liverpool.
The exact date of its construction is unclear, but it was shortly after a previous building was destroyed by fire in 1890. The adjoining office building is also of unknown, but earlier, date, possibly early 1850s.
