I saw a ninety nine-year lease for these premises dated 6 April 1895 and I am inclined to regard that as the start. It was used by Mackeson and was just one more which made way for redevelopment. Compensation of £915 was credited to the brewer and £165 to licensee Mrs. Harriet Meade.

It disappeared with the other quay properties in 1930.
