A yard adjacent to premises most recently known as "Squire's Garage". According to the local Civic Society the building functioned as a Salvation Army barracks in 1887, having been officially opened by General Booth. It has also been a wool and flax manufacturing site and a rope-creation site, i.e. a ropewalk. It also served as a garage and petrol station at a time when Millbank was designated as part of the A46. Both the garage and the yard seem in a state of disuse.
