History of The Warehouse - The building itself provides one of the more interesting features in the historic city of Chester. Originally conceived by the famous industrial engineer Thomas Telford in the 1790?s, the Warehouse stands as a magnificent example of Georgian architecture and as a reminder of the once thriving port of Chester.
The building was constructed partly over the canal to allow boats to be located and unloaded from the full height of the loading bay within the building.
The grade 2 listed building was originally converted to a public house in the 1980?s by local architect James Brotherhood.
In 2000, Telford?s was forced to close due to a major fire which desoyed much of the building?s internal features and took nearly a year to restore.
