Description
Designed by architect Samuel Denman. The Abbott brothers operated the building as a mineral water factory from 1904 to 1912. After a period of vacancy, Maynard’s wholesaling manufacturing confectioners operated from the building between 1927 and 1962. It was sympathetically converted by Dominic Richards in 2002 for use as live/work units. Three storey, red brick with concrete lintels. 7 bay elevation; each bay separated by a pilaster and now forming one unit. A door and window to the ground floor of each bay, with two windows to the first floor and four smaller windows to the second. The original cast iron windows have been replaced to a matching design. Glazed pitched roof. Pediments to outer and central bays. Source: Middleton 2002
