Corbetts Wharf is a riverside warehouse dating from circa 1860 to 1870, since converted to flats. The prominent red cast-iron columns supporting the first floor would have originally been internal to the building, and have only been exposed during the residential conversion. At one stage it is thought that it would have had an overhead gantry across the street connecting it to the building to the left. The riverside frontage not seen here has greater architectural merit, which accounts for its Grade II Listed Building status.
