The stretch of canal between Victoria Street and Otley Road is dominated by the long frontage and covered loading bays of the series of warehouses at Wharf Street. These were built incrementally from 1874 onward by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company to store wool. In recent years, these warehouses have been converted to a range of commercial uses. The series of warehouses is grade II listed (English Heritage Building ID: 337565 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-337565-canal-warehouse-immediately-west-of-numb British Listed Buildings).
