By T.S. Hack and Samuel Daukes respectively. Both 1840. The latter, also known as Reynold's Warehouse, is a double warehouse. Grade II listed. The restoration of Gloucester docks is a rare C20th conservation success story, largely because of the sheer number of surviving buildings but also the sympathetic way in which they have been treated. There is no gimmicky cladding, and the area has not, at least yet, been swamped by incongruous modern tat. Around fifteen warehouses, mostly built for storing grain, survive (eight have been demolished) and have been converted to offices, including for the city council, or tourist attractions.
