Restoration work was done on this Grade II listed building in 2012-2013. According to https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-19366390 the former Ridley Seed Merchants building on Mill Street, Bridgnorth, dates back to 1675, so presumably that was an earlier structure on the site. There is a plaque attached to the building which states: Ridley's Seeds Early 19th Century. This was one of many warehouses when the River Severn was a major highway for transportation of merchandise. Between the warehouse and the recommencement of the towpath was a small dock from which goods were hoisted into the warehouse. The British Listed Buildings website dates the present building as early 19th century. https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101177096-warehouse-occupied-by-messrs-se-and-a-ridley-bridgnorth
