Banana Warehouse (Birmingham)

United Kingdom / England / Birmingham / Fazeley Street
 warehouse, 1840s construction, Grade II Listed (UK)

So called because it was used by Geest who were fruit traders. Circa 1840 red brick canal side warehouse with the eaves of roof carried out over stop lock/wharf abutting Warwick Bar lock. The overhanging roof (modern asbestos sheeting) is supported by cast iron columns, 7 bays, narrower each end. Exposed braced half trusses. Segmental arched openings to warehouse walls, mostly blocked. Stone dressed brick lock and stop lock.

    I never used that place! Slander!

    I wouldn't expect you to have, unless you are 200 years old! I suppose it's safe to say that this is no longer used by Geest and more used by geese now!
