SOUTHWARK
TQ3279 COLE STREET 636-1/5/875 (South West side) 23/10/95 Nos.26 AND 28
II
Warehouse. 1826-27. By William Chadwick, builder. Brick in Flemish bond. Hipped roof of slate. Roughly rectangular in plan, approx 27m to each long side. EXTERIOR: 4 storeys. Long elevation has range of 8 windows, the 3rd and 6th functioning as hoist ranges. Entrance to right party wall. Short return has 3-window range articulated by shallow brick arcade spanning first, 2nd and top floors. The windows on the return have been rebuilt, but follow roughly the plan of those on the long elevation and thus do not compromise the structure's historic character. Ground floor of the return is blind except for pair of small windows at lower left. All openings segmental-arched; windows to long elevation with original cast-iron lattice glazing. Glazing to hoist range appears also to be original. C19 hoist arm to top of right-hand hoist range. Rear elevation has blind brick arcades similar to those on the return, 5 in number. INTERIOR: plan on original lease now in the Guildhall Library shows an interior divided into 5 bays by slender uprights; the latter are reported to be timber. The bays backing the hoist ranges are slightly wider than the rest. A good example of early C19 warehousing and remarkably complete. Constructed as the large houses in Trinity Church Square were being completed (qqv), it illustrates the rapid transformation of the area from suburban to commercial use in the 3rd decade of the C19. (Merrick's Charity, Cole Street leases, 1817-1952: Ms No.30254).
