The houses of Dane Road are typical 1930s Motor City suburbia, but the building to the right, fronting onto Walsgrave Road, and with OFFICES carved over the door, is clearly older, late 19th or early 20th century, and is marked on the OS Six Inch Series map of that era. There are modern industrial premises behind it, which now have planning permission for redevelopment as retirement housing. The offices were, until the 1980s, those of Youell the builders, who constructed many of the suburban houses in this part of the city. Nearby stood a weighing house, long since demolished.
