It would originally have been used to store a range of local produce, primarily wool and grain, and imported goods, including coal, fruit and vegetables, whilst transport up and down the canal was arranged. The building is of three storeys, 5 bays and of rectangular plan. It is built of red brick, with a pantile roof and raised coped gables. Dentilled brick eaves extend along both the canal side and the road side elevations. The building has been converted to use as offices.
