Merchants' Warehouse, Castlefield

Placeholder for Merchants' Warehouse, Castlefield black plaque

Merchants' Warehouse. Merchants' Warehouse, the oldest surviving warehouse in Castlefield, was built in 1825. The barges were loaded and unloaded inside the building by a hoist in the top floor, a feature exclusive to canalside warehouses. Merchants' warehouse is a Grade II listed building and is remarkable for its unique design and extensive use of timber. The warehouse was badly damaged by fire in 1971 and was restored during 1995.
