Middle Warehouse, Castle Quay, Manchester
Very impressive, large, with a pair of giant blind segmental arches through which boats would once have passed. Built in 1828-31 for the Manchester Ship Canal Company. Grade II listed.
It was converted to flats and offices in 1988, an early example of this area's reinvention.

The twin of a similar structure in Liverpool, expressly built for transhipment to the canal. Built by the Duke of Bridgewater in 1828
Recently restored and converted to accommodation and business use, and a wonderful building. It was only saved from being demolished by being listed, as late as 1992. See the NHLE listing at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1208653
