There are many fine historic buildings alongside the Louth Navigation. This one is in Thames St. Parts of it have been better preserved than others. The buildings at the far end of this block were once Baines' Mill and the Louth Gaslight Company. As the gas works expanded, it began to encraoch on Baines' land, and in 1878 Baines set a stone into the edge of his building to mark the boundary.
