The east-facing elevation of the Grade II-listed former Thorpe's Warehouse. Although the premises were built in 1872 as a riverside barley store and malt house they were acquired by Newark Egg Packers Ltd in 1932. In either the 1980s or the early 1990s the building was rented out to Weston Mill Pottery but then it lay empty vacant between 2007-10. In 2011 planning permission was granted for its restoration and conversion into a number of high quality commercial suites and twelve or more apartments overlooking the canal basin and the River Trent. The project was completed in 2013 or 2014 with its original hand painted inscription “Thorpes Warehouse” restored.
