Now isolated, this fine building would, when first built, have been surrounded by industrial buildings and works of all types. The 1905 OS map of this area shows attached to the left side of this building a row of over thirty terraced houses. The huge Neepsend Gas Works was immediately behind and would have dwarfed evrything else in the area. Latterly it houses Le Pla Hydraulics.
