The nearer building is the former Dowler Williamson works, Grade II listed (list entry 1132522). The listing just dates it to 'mid 19th century'; it doesn't appear on the 1849 map that shows a smaller 'Custom House' on part of the site but does appear by 1891 where it is described as an 'agricultural implement works'. The upper floor is now the River Mills Ballroom, and the ground floor hosts St Leonard's Hospice charity shop.
