HISTORICAL NOTE: the last remaining warehouse building of
former Cotton's Wharf. Cotton's was almost entirely destroyed
in the fire of Tooley Street (1861) and was immediately
rebuilt. It was converted into a coldstore in the 1880s by the
proprietors of adjacent Hay's Wharf. Late C20 buildings have
replaced the other buildings on the site.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Has group value with the adjacent Hay's Wharf buildings to the
east.
