This old four-storey building just a short step from the town centre began life in the early years of the 19th century as a grain warehouse when Bourne had a flourishing corn trade but has since had several other commercial uses such as a maltings, flax factory and animal feed store. In 2008, the warehouse was bought by South Kesteven District Council for £350,000 as part of the proposed redevelopment of the town centre which subsequently fell through but the council used this and other nearby properties for a less ambitious scheme to provide 14 private flats and an arcade of seven shops of which the newly refurbished warehouse now forms part.
