Castle House as seen from Lady's Bridge that crosses the River Don, with the 16-storey "Quarter" tower block behind it. Castle House was built in 1900 using a Flemish architectural style with these striking glazed bricks. The property was built for Mr John Henry Bryars, a vet and successful animal breeder who had the responsibility of caring for the Midland Railway Company's dray horses. The horses were stabled on four floors of the building facing the river, each floor being served by ramps. In 1928 the premises were taken over by the William Batchelor who used them as his first canning factory. A carpet retail sales outlet has used some of the premises for a considerable number of years. A public footpath can be seen leading alongside of the building in the direction of Block Street Bridge.
