The Warwick Bar Conservation Area straddles the Digbeth and
Eastside areas of central Birmingham.
It includes sections of
both the Digbeth Branch Canal and the
Birmingham and Warwick
Canal and their associated basins, locks and wharves.
The area surrounding Warwick Bar at the junction of these two
canals features several listed buildings, including the
Gun
Barrel Proof House (circa 1813), the
Geest Banana Warehouse (1840) and the
Bond Icehouse (circa 1850).
In Digbeth, south of the Warwick Bar, the designated area
includes an early 20th industrial townscape dominated by the
former Typhoo Works. In Eastside, north of the Warwick Bar,
the designated area is restricted to a narrow canal corridor
that broadens to include the Belmont Works (circa 1900) but then
tapers at the
Ashted Locks on the north side of Jennens Road. |
