Description

A group of four abutting quayside warehouses of different dates. Survivals from the Hythe's days as an active port. At least one of the units is said to have been a bonded warehouse (not verified). The northern three warehouses were built sometime between 1848 and 1881 probably sequentially over a short period of time c.1850 starting with the most northerly building. The warehouses are of grey brick. The northern two look to be of the same design. At least one more warehouse was to be added to the row (see SE quoin of third warehouse). The warehouses may have been erected soon after the construction very nearby in 1847 of a goods railway station. Many years later, a further warehouse was added but this was of red brick and shorter in length. It was built between 1887 and 1924, probably around 1900. All four warehouses have been altered to limited degrees. Their original metal windows survive but not doors. All four form a group with a listed building, the former Rising Sun public house on Hythe Station Road.
