'CANAL COTTAGES' AT RISK:

One of the few surviving relics from the Liverpool of 1803

This extract from Horwood's Map of Liverpool, drawn in 1803, shows the building's distinctive shape quite clearly. Situated at the end of Old Hall Street, opposite Leeds Street (now Old Leeds Street), it guarded the entrance to 'Mr Clark's Coal Yard' alongside the terminal basin of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

After ten years of neglect, it is still structurally sound and could quite easily be refurbished.
