12, Flitcroft Street

No. 12 Flitcroft Street is a warehouse, now open-plan offices, dated 1878 on a plaque on the gable. It was built for William Addis and features yellow stock brick with a pantiled roof. The building has four storeys and eight bays. The entrance is located to the right, framed by a red rubbed brick archway supported by small column corbels, with a keystone inscribed "WA". The entrance has 20th-century glazing and is flanked by two brick pilasters with stone capitals that support a round-arched head above part-glazed doors. To the left of the entrance, there is a cast-iron hoist bracket and a small gable with a date stone. The left-hand bays feature gauged brick segmental-arched windows on each floor, articulated by brick pilaster strips, and there is a parapet at the top.

Inside, the building has softwood flitch beams supported by cast-iron columns on the ground and first floors. It features king post trusses made of timber with cast-iron king posts, and some original features remain, such as slots for drive belts. There is also a staircase from the 1930s.

Historically, William Addis was a firm of wholesale ironmongers, and after the Second World War, the building was used as a warehouse by Crosse and Blackwell. No. 12 is an unusual example of a warehouse in this part of London and is part of a group with another warehouse at No. 6 Flitcroft Street.
