Abbots Staith Buildings, Medieval warehouse in Selby, England

The Abbots Staith Buildings feature a two-story H-shaped structure made of magnesian limestone with red brick additions on the upper levels.

Built around 1500 for Selby Abbey monks, this Grade II* listed building served as a storage facility for goods transported via River Ouse.

The structure represents the commercial development of Selby through centuries, demonstrating the connection between religious institutions and medieval trade networks.

Visitors can examine the exterior architecture along Water Lane, including five original first-floor windows and two doors with medieval ironwork.

The building contains internal thick limestone walls that create distinct sections, preserving the original medieval warehouse layout from the 16th century.
