Anchor Warehouse

A bone mill, built between 1843 and 1844, likely by the Meade brothers, with later 19th-century alterations and extensions to the rear and sides. The building is constructed of killas and granite rubble walls, with granite quoins and brick dressings to the nearly round-arched openings. The quay walls are battered and built of large granite blocks. The front range has a brick parapet and a felt and battened roof, while other areas have corrugated iron roofs, some with weatherboarded gables, and pantiles to a small wing on the right. It is three storeys high with attics, and has a four-window river frontage. Most openings retain old two-light transomed windows, previously louvred. There are blocked or partly-blocked loading doorways towards the right, and a tall mid-floor window, positioned between the lower floors, which forms part of the former engine-house bay. Inside, much of the original floor and roof structure remains. The rear wings have floors supported on reused large iron flanged pipes and granite corbels set into the rear wall of the front range. A large round chimney breast is located behind the front range. This building is a rare example of its type.
