Albert WarehouseBuilt in 1851, this warehouse was intially rented to corn merchants W C Lucy & Co. Once a year, the lower floor was cleared for the annual fund-raising tea meeting organised by the chaplain of the nearby Mariner's Chapel. In 1869, James Reynolds took over the building and converted it to a flour mill with a boiler and engine house built to the south. Initially wheat was ground between stones, but in 1880 new roller milling machines were installed. Further equipment was added over the years to keep the business competitive until the mill was eventually closed in 1977. Britannia WarehouseBuilt in 1861, this warehouse was intially rented to the Bristol based corn merchants H Adams & Co (later R & H Adams Ltd). In 1905, the lease passed to G T Beard who managed a number of the Gloucester warehouses, storing grain for various merchants who did not have their own accommodation. From the 1930s, the warehouse was no longer storing grain, and floors were rented to firms such as W S Barron & Son, millwrights, and Priestley Studios, who built exhibition displays. In 1987, when occupied by Cotswold Typesetting and by furniture stored by Loader & Munckton, the building was completely gutted by fire.Britannia Warehouse was demolished and rebuilt, using many of the old bricks, to provide offices which were first occupied in 1990.Now occupied by Barclays Bank and the British Publishing Company |
