Former cake and manure manufactory dating from the mid 19th century. The OS 1st edition depicts a bone mill at this location - with engine house, and bone storehouse to the west. It is annotated as a cake and manure manufactory on the 2nd edition and 1924 map. The warehouse on the corner of Clarence Street and Lime Street is a large 4-storey warehouse, gabled to Lime Street, with distinctive semicircular openings to the upper floors, and oval ties with the date 1907. It is built of coursed Aberdeen Bon granite with voussoired dressings and continues as a 2-storey, 5-bay section along Clarence Street. The warehouses on the corner of Lime Street and Waterloo Quay has a 3-3-3 bay arrangement to Lime Street with a central flat-roofed section flanked by gabled bays, and there are cast iron oval ties between the floors. The frontage on Waterloo Quay, is 5-storey and 7-bay. This building originally had an overhead covered passage linking it to the adjacent block to the east which is a 3-storey, 7-bay ashlar building with segmental arched cart entries. In 1854 the Northern Agricultural company acquired ground on this site to accommodate their business of 'Cake and Manure Manufactory'. By the 1930s a company manufacturing edible fats occupied the Lime Street corner building. Now in use as offices, converted after 1972. Photographic survey of the warehousing along Waterloo Quay was carried out by RCAHMS in October 2000.
