Former boot factory, now in residential use, built in circa 1882, the firm having been founded in 1862. It was originally Colin Grant's boot and shoe factory, and was one of two famous shoemaking firms in the town that specialised in boots for agricultural workers. It is first shown on the 2nd edition OS map as an acute L-plan factory building, with section projecting from the angle. Current maps show some alterations. The buildings have had various uses, with the rear buildings used as a bus depot and the frontage used as a nightclub (named the 'Marine Ballroom'), but was disused by 1996. It was converted into flats in 2008. It is a two-storey, piended-roofed, 15-bay building, constructed form coursed red sandstone with polished grey sandstone dressings. There are corner towers and the remains of a small tower, possibly a water tower, and ventilators to the grey slate roof. There are an additional two pitched-roof section to the rear. The north Hill Road elevation has base, cill and eaves courses, long and short quoins, moulded architraves to the window, and round-arched entrances with prominent voussoirs. There is a piend-roofed tower to the west with a bipartite window and a decorative oculus. There are key-blocked oculi to the gables on the west elevation of the single storey buildings to the rear facing East Newgate. During the conversion work in 2008, murals of European landscapes left by the Polish army during World War II were uncovered and recorded. The Currying Works for the factory were to the west (see NO64SW0104).
