Formerly a horn-cutter's works (used for cutlery handles). The front building, dated c1875, was offices, with workshops behind. These are earlier, c1850, and largely windowless due "to the high value of horn". Grade II listed. Not sure what, if anything, goes on here now, but whatever it is, it's no longer likely to involve turning ox, buffalo or stag horns into fork handles.
