Abstract:		 Although the building was initially owned and occupied by Bibby, subsequently trading as J Bibby and Sons, who were corn merchants and millers, it was occupied by W and J Pye (latterly Pye Bibby Agriculture) for most of the time since its construction. The building recording identified four or possibly five phases of construction and alteration within the building, the earliest being the initial period of construction c1881, followed by relatively minor alterations shortly after associated with the removal and replacement of a gas powered engine and associated machinery. This was followed by the change of use of the building into offices, with the associated insertion of various partition walls, a lift, and a staircase. The building is an interesting example of a warehouse that incorporated its own processing facilities, in this case the milling of grain to produce animal feed and flour. It is likely to have taken advantage of modern improvements to milling machinery that were taking place in the late 19th century and was clearly part of a world-wide trade in grain that was taking place at that time. The construction of the building utilised cast iron columns supporting beams of immense span, an innovation that had developed in the late 18th century.
