GV II

Transit sheds. c1872. Rock-faced sandstone with Welsh slate roofs. Range of 4 single-storeyed sheds. Series of wide openings with sliding doors to dockside, the street elevation largely blind, but punctuated by recessed downspouts. Segmentally arched openings in the two end walls, with circular ventilation windows in gable apexes. The sheds are separated by cross walls which project above the roofline with tumbled stone copings. Some interconnecting wide doorways in internal cross walls. Undivided internal spaces spanned by timber Queen post trusses, with wrought iron lateral and longitudinal ties and braces. The sheds date from the expansion of Morpeth Dock in 1872-1873, under the supervision of G.F. Lyster as engineer, and are the only stone transit sheds on Mersey-side.
