The 1830 warehouse, Liverpool Road, Manchester, is a 19th-century warehouse that forms part of the Liverpool Road railway station complex. It was built in five months between April and September 1830, "almost certainly (the designs of ) the Liverpool architect Thomas Haigh".〔Hartwell et al. 2004, p 355-6〕 The British Listed Buildings survey attributes the work to George Stephenson and his son, Robert.〔 It is a Grade I listed building as of 8 May 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Old Warehouse to North of Former Liverpool Road Railway Station, Manchester )〕 The warehouse is of "red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and slate roofs".〔 It is three storeys high, though only two storeys present to the level of the railway〔 to allow for direct loading and unloading. At the ground floor at street level, carts could also gain direct access. "The internal structure is of timber, but with cast-iron columns in the basement."〔 The processing of goods within the warehouse was originally a manual operation but "steam-powered hoists () installed within a year as the manual system could not cope with the volume of goods".〔Hartwell 2001, p 267〕 The steam system of 1831 was replaced with a hydraulic system between 1866 and 1880 to increase efficiency. The restoration of the warehouse was undertaken in 1992–6 by the Building Design Partnership.〔 ==Notes==
