NOTES: Many of the warehouses here were badly damaged and some completedly destroyed during the Great Fire of Tooley Street in 1861. The fire burnt fiercely for two days and it was two weeks before it was fully put out. The area was quickly rebuilt by the original architects W. Snooke and H. Stock, responsible for many of the new buildings until the late 1880s, of which this is one.
