Above again there is a similar window to the central bay with its keystone running into a plain band across the gable at eaves level and to either side there are two flat headed 2-light windows below the eaves. Below the central window is a large painted sign inscribed 'From the Trent to the Mersey' and above in the gable there is another painted sign inscribed 'Navigation'.

North elevation has a two storey segment headed hoist doorway to first and second floors with a small segment headed window above, and the hoist over. West elevation similar to eastern elevation except outer bays have segment headed windows instead of large doorways. Interior has the original floors and timbers.
