By Jesse Hartley, 1843-47, although his design was based on Philip Hardwick's warehouses at St Katharine Docks in London. Five five-storey fireproof warehouses in all, providing more than a million square feet of storage space for bonded goods. Pevsner commented that "for sheer punch there is little in the early commercial architecture of Europe to emulate it". Grade I listed. The docks closed in 1972, restoration of the buildings as shops, restaurants etc began in 1981. Aerial view: Image]
