Originally a mill and corn store, it was only about fifty metres from the quay when built, and windjammers from as far afield as Russia brought cereals to the mill. Later on, Alf Parker developed it into a department store and also made world class banjos in a small factory on the top floor. It is now a bar-restaurant, decorated with a pirate theme.
