David Dixon's excellent caption is as follows: - This warehouse was built in 1830 and was used mainly for grain and cotton. It remained in use until the 1970s, more recently than the other Castlefield warehouses. Barges brought maize by-products from the Kellogg factory at Stretford to Middle Warehouse where it was stored for collection by animal feed producers. Redevelopment of the Castlefield area has seen Middle Warehouse converted into apartments, offices and shops. It is Grade II-listed (Historic England List Entry Number: 1208653).
