The Clock Warehouse in Shardlow is a fascinating piece of history. Built in 1780, it originally served as a corn warehouse during the time when Shardlow was a bustling inland port, thanks to the completion of the Trent and Mersey Canal. The building had its own canal spur, allowing narrowboats to unload directly into the warehouse through a central arch. Its design includes four storeys made of red brick with stone dressings, a red tile roof, and features like a central louvred vent and hoist roofs. The interior still retains its original floors and timbers. Over time, it underwent several transformations: in 1970, it was converted into a museum and tea rooms, and later became a public house. Today, the Clock Warehouse is a Grade II listed building, recognized for its architectural and historical significance. It stands as a reminder of Shardlow's rich heritage as a key player in England's canal trade. Have you visited this historic gem before? It was certainly a fun place to visit and the heritage centre next to it afforded many opportunities to photograph barges.
