Full Description

[The] Trent Navigation Warehouse has the following inscribed on the underside of the demolished chimney cornice: "W Duke Builder N'K 1870". (1)
1870. Tidied up by Guy St John Taylor Associates (1975-9) for the District Council. (2)
[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)
A former oil and cake mill erected in 1870 which later became a warehouse for the Navigation Company. (5)
Former warehouse and adjoining maltings. Dated 1870 on the wall ties and chimney base. The maltings built by W Duke, builder, probably for one of the Gilstrap family, maltsters, whose monogram appears on the wall ties. (6)
