Tweedmouth Character Appraisal informs us this was the former warehouse of Border Brewery Co. Ltd and describes it as 'the area’s tallest, most impressive commercial building'. However the 1922-24 OS map appears to show it as a 'Flour Mill' (connected to Mill Strand) with what appears to be a conveyor over the road to a railway line. Similarly the less detailed 1897-99 and 1938-47 maps also show this conveyor. It is not shown on the 1860-66 map but a building is shown here, unconnected to the Mill Strand building. As the OS map now numbers this '1 - 9 Mill Wharf' (an indicator to its previous use) I assume it is the flats or holiday homes, part of the development in the 1999 planning application.
