Former canal warehouse on the Mill Hill Wharf, used when the Collateral Cut of the Tavistock Canal (MDV18721) was in use between 1819-1831.
Comarison plan of the warehouse at Tavistock with the warehouse building at Mill Hill included by Waterhouse. The design of the buildings enabled goods in sacks or barrels to be winched into and out of boats via a block and tackle inside the building. Warehouses that straddle canals in this manner are rare nationally.
