The Bathurst Basin was a small offshoot of the Floating Harbour, where mills and warehouses jostled for trade coming up the river. Here are what were once offices and warehousing for a number of firms in the past, but which are now converted into residential use. The 'Bristol Byzantine' style used varied colour brickwork to create the appearance seen here, and other buildings nearby. The arhcitect was William Bruce Gingell and produced the buildings for John Robinson's Oil Seed Mill. In later times they were known as Warriner's warehouses before the 1980s brought much demolition; the facade was retained but was no longer a commercial site. Grade II listed.
