The straddle warehouse

At the Sheffield end of the Sheffield and Tinsley canal sits the straddle warehouse building at Victoria Quays. Now an office building, it was built around the turn of the 20th century. It’s design was due to there being insufficient space for the buildings around the edge of the canal basin, so the design supported by stilts was constructed.
