Sluice Bridge warehouse

This warehouse was built in the late 18^th. Century next to the Grand Sluice. It was broken up into four units and river craft stopped here and unloaded their goods instead of going through the lock.

For a number of years it was used by Beeson’s the glaziers (whose sign still remains there) and has now been converted into living accommodation with a bar/café at one end named The Jolly Sailor.

Gysor's Hall

This is the 13^th. Century Gysor’s Hall that once stood in South Square.

In about 1372 John of Gaunt made it the collecting point for the payments due to his manor at Boston. It was pulled down in 1810 and some of the stones from it were used in the building of a warehouse that was built on its site.

That same warehouse has now been converted into modern flats.

The London Warehouse

This picture shows the London Warehouse which was built on Packhouse Quay in 1817.

It was situated between the present Waterfront pub and the Sam Newsom Centre. After the dock was opened in the 1880’s the river trade fell off and the warehouse was demolished (pictured below) in about 1950.
