Built in 1836, Jacksons Warehouse was originally called the Rochdale Canal WarehouseThe six-storey Jackson`s Warehouse is located on an offshoot of the Rochdale Canal. Like other warehouses in central Manchester, it features `shipping holes` at canal level on its main elevation. These allowed direct access into the building so that canal boats could unload under cover.
The warehouse is Grade II* listed and constructed in red brick. The ground floor is set partially below the level of Tariff Street and there are loading doors on each floor. The hoists for raising goods from canal boats or wagons were located in the roof space. Some of the capstans, wheels and pulleys are still in place.
The two shipping holes occupy almost one quarter of the south elevation. Each is framed with a single ring of stone voussoirs. The windows all have stone sills and either arched brick tops or stone lintels.
In November 2003, completion of a £4.25m restoration project converted the warehouse into apartments, with a restaurant and commercial space on the lower ground floor. A glazed stair and lift tower was added at the eastern end. The ground was vibro compacted to improve its bearing capacity.
The canal basin that the warehouse faces was also renovated and a new lift bridge provided for the north towpath of the Rochdale Canal.
