Originally this building, which is situated at 237 King Street, used to be the Albion spinning mill, built in 1837 for making worsted silk and mohair. It was then converted for making confectionery until 1934, and for many years served as the RJ Read Woodrow flour mill. This was also the site of St Olave's chapel which was demolished in the 14th century > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5779596. After the business had closed in 1993, the building stood empty for a decade until it was finally sold in 2005 and subsequently redeveloped into apartments by the PJ Livesy Group. For a view of its river frontage see > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5766096.
