Cotton manufacturers' warehouse, now restaurants, etc. c.1845, by Edward Walters; altered. Sandstone ashlar ground floor, coursed rubble above, with rear of red brick in English bond (roof not visible). U-plan: main range parallel to street, with 2 rear wings. Basement and 4 floors, a 5-window range, the ground floor of rusticated punch-dressed ashlar with plain frieze and modillioned cornice, quoins to the upper floors, modillioned cornice to 2nd floor, string-course and parapet to top floor. The basement and ground floor are treated as a rustic with a 9-bay arcade of segmental-headed arches, those at the ends containing doorways with pilaster-and-cornice architraves and the others equally divided into basement and ground-floor windows (most of these openings altered, and various signboards and canopies attached); the upper floors have diminishing segmental-headed sashed windows with quoined surrounds and keystones, those at 2nd floor with raised sills. Rear: 2 large wings, 4 windows long and 2 windows wide, each with a full-height loading slot in the gable wall, that to No.39 with recessed stages and loading doors but the other now blocked; large segmental-headed windows, many with original 16-pane sashes but others variously altered or damaged. Interior not inspected. An early example of this type of building in Manchester.
