The building's formal front is to Abbey Street, its flank to Quay lane and its back to Belvedere Rd. Built between 1884 and 1896 it was the beer bottling building for Rigdens/ Whitbread/Fremlins large brewery complex across Abbey St. The two sets of buildings are joined by a (still extant) tunnel under the road. Externally it is largely unaltered. It is in yellow stock brick with to the front a simple pitched roofed gabled facade with red brick dressings.To the rear the width of the building doubles, resulting in two gables and two conventional pitched roofs with a valley between. All roofs are slated. The building retains almost all its original exterior character and is important for its historic and also its townscape contributions to the character of the Conservation Area.
