The gate, dated 1869, has a seal on the pediment, originally the principal source of skins for the fur processing factory. The factory building beyond, in a distinctly different architectural style, was built in the 1930s, by which time the firm had become a more generally sourced skin and fur processor. It is now flats. Oddly, neither structure has the benefit of being a listed building.
