Great Bow Wharf

The Warehouse was built in the late 18th century of English bond red brick, with Flemish bond extensions. It has clay plain tile roofs with hipped ends. It was built by the?Parrett Navigation Company, a trading Company owned by?Vincent Stuckey?and?Walter Bagehot, on the banks of the?River Parrett. When the river became unnavigable the buildings usefulness waned and was eventually abandoned.

The Somerset Trust for Sustainable Development, purchased the site, designated as a brown field site, in February 2003, and worked with?Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust?(SBPT),?English Heritage?and local councils to redevelop it into a craft, heritage learning and small business centre, with the surrounding land being used for an eco-friendly housing development

The aim was to repair the warehouse as an example of sustainable and historic restoration and to develop a centre with high quality office space for permanent tenants, meeting rooms for hire and a cafe, thereby supporting the regeneration of the town.
