This was first recorded in 1757 and finished trading in 1819. Grices Granary or Wharf was built on the site which still remains today with an address of number 82. In 1976 Sands Films obtained the building. As may be seen, the 'Mayflower' pub is within spitting distance and on the left is St Mary's Church. Possible point of interest re the two metal bollards: in the 1960s and 1970s there were a great number of such bollards around the immediate vicinity; practically all were cannon from ships that had been dismantled in the area. Many were stolen for either their 'historic' or 'scrap' value.
