Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The warehouse is of early 19th century date with two main phases of build; elements of the south wall possibly predating the Bude Canal and the buildings warehouse function. The warehouse is constructed of local materials, conforming to a vernacular style common in the wider region. It is an undesignated heritage asset. Architecturally, it does not represent a particularly special example of type and is in a derelict and partly ruinous state; its collective value with other industrial heritage sites such as the other 19th century stone buildings at the former wharf site has been somewhat undermined by their conversions, and the now domestic character of the hamlet. Any significance the building does hold lies with its associative history with the Bude Canal; as a warehouse on a key unloading wharf, on the small 'Holsworthy branch' of the main canal. The Bude Canal is a large, linear industrial asset which crosses the Devon and Cornwall border, fed by the lower Tamar, and the offshoot runs north-east, designed to carry sand and lime into the drained wetlands north-east of the town, for land improvement. The branch of the canal system is almost wholly silted up after an active history of less than 40 years. The Bude Canal is part of the narrative history of the town of Holsworthy, as well as the wider region's industrial history.
