Clarks Wood Company warehouse, Byzantine Revival warehouse in City of Bristol, England.
The Clarks Wood Company warehouse is an industrial building with Byzantine Revival style features on Silverthorne Road in Bristol. Its facade displays characteristic arches and ornamental details that set it apart from typical factory buildings of that era.
The building was completed in 1863 first as a tar works for William Butler. It later became part of the St. Vincent's Works complex and developed into a timber storage center.
The warehouse shows how important timber trading was for Bristol's economy in the 1800s. Buildings like this still shape how people see the city's industrial areas today.
The building sits in an active industrial area and is visible from the street. Visitors should know that it remains a working warehouse with limited public access to the interior.
Two original walls of the building have survived to today and show details possibly designed by Thomas Royse Lysaght. These remains offer insight into specialized Victorian-era craftsmanship.
