[This] warehouse on the River Trent … belonged to the Trent Navigation Co, according to the notice on the side. The building is of red brick with a slate roof. It can be divided into 3 sections: the downstream part which has 3 storeys, the middle part which has 4 and the upstream part which has only 2. In the middle section the crane still survives. The upstream section has a sort of "chimney" on the Trent side, and runs the length of Mill Lane up to Mill Gate. (3)
The warehouse is divided up and used as a brasserie, offices and museum. 4 prints 203t/32,33,35, 203y/1, RCHME. (4)

Former warehouse and adjoining maltings owned by the Trent Navigation Company which was constructed in 1870. The building was probably built for the Gilstrap family of maltsters whose monogram appears on the wall ties. The building is built of brick with slate roofs. Mostly regular fenestration with segmentally headed openings which have all been fitted with new glazing during the 20th century. The north elevation of the warehouse is painted with the inscription ‘Trent navigation Co. Wharf & Warehouse’ between the upper floors. On the fourth floor of the warehouse is a hoist gallery with struts and on the ground floor, a larger doorway under the hoist, flanked by two smaller doorways. The central range is of four storeys and five bays wide, also re glazed in the 20th century. The south-west range has a half-hipped roof which is topped with the base and coping of an octagonal chimney stack. The listing text confirms that this is inscribed ‘W Duke Builder Newark 1870’. (7)
