Below the central window is a large painted sign inscribed 'From

One of the earliest in a series of canal warehouses, built after the completion of the
Trent and Mersey Canal when Shardlow was a thriving inland port.
The building had its own spur from the canal to enable narrow
boats to get right into the building to unload, via the central
arch.
