Full Description
A building assessment was carried out in the warehouses on Cambridge Road in 1996 ahead of proposals to convert them into retail outlets.
Taken from the source (1996): Building one is situated at the north-east end of the range adjacent to the modern car park and consists of a modern store building of mortared yellow stock brick (strecher bond) with a concrete floor and pitched roof of corrugated asbestos sheeting painted red-pink. It abuts building 2 and appears to be a later addition. The bulk of the north-west wall fronting onto the slip quay is occupied by a large sliding steel door (painted dark blue) with glazed panels above. The north-east wall is pierced by 5 wooden framed windows and a side door, all painted dark blue. The south-east wall fronting Cambridge Road is plain apart from a dark blue painted wooden louvre in the gable. The interior of building 1 contains an upper floor, reached via a stairway located in the east corner of building 2. It is clear that the interior of the entire building was completely gutted and re built in the 1960's/70's. No elements of the building appear to be earlier than the mid 20th century. (1)
