Description and History of Site :-
Redeveloped incorporating former columns and beams in brick structural features, 'workshop' appearance with girder crane over loading doors.

Cast iron plaque with City of London Coat of Arms and inscription 'J. Harvey & Co., London 1833'. This refers to the ironfounder J. Hervey and Co. of Herman's Buildings, Brick Lane, off Old Street by the City Road basin of the Grand Union canal. The firm was founded in 1832, so this was possibly their first major job, but they disappeared from London in 1842 and nothing else is known about them.
First redeveloped 1984 to the designs of Frederick Gibberd and Partners.

Subsequent mixed-use development completed in 2018.

The courtyard has been enclosed with a glass roof, creating a large retail unit together with adjoining buildings which front onto Long Acre and Floral Street.

Occupied (2023) by a fashion retailer (UNIQLO).
