This is by the canal basin and I believe was erected in 1903. It was still in use in the 1950s but is now connected to a new building although the largest part then looked disused (in 2008). Since then it has been converted to an indoor climbing centre. This view is now impossible as I took it from a fire escape that is now obscured by a new building on the right of the photograph where construction was just commencing.
