Canal warehouse

This type of warehouse derived from coastal predecessors, had unique features: it had internal water filled canal arms that entered the building, it was multistorey with canal access at one level and road and even rail egress at another, and has a hoist system powered by a water wheel or at later stages steam.

[2] The later Portland Basin warehouse, was built in 1834 by the architect, David Bellhouse.

It has three shipping arms, and continued to be used as a storage warehouse after its serving canal became disused.

This was built in 1896 over the Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, it had road access on two levels, rail lines entering on two levels and a transhipment floor of 26,730 m2.
