Quoting from http://www.ipswich-lettering.co.uk/edwardfison.html "Gipping House on Dock Street, which is now the pinkwashed warehouse and offices for a yacht and shipwright company, dates from the late 18th or early 19th century. In its early years it was used as an infantry barracks (as was the nearby Stoke Maltings, see below), but became, in 1849, one of many buildings in the town to be converted into maltings. The lettering on the brickwork at the east end of the premises suggests that, as a maltings, it was owned and operated by Edward Fison Ltd: one of the first British companies to produce malt extract for brewers and bakers."
