One of a series of small fish processing and smoking factories at Grimsby, dating from the period when Grimsby was one of the foremost fishing centres in the world. This is the only example of the smaller type of fish-smoking factories once found at Grimsby, and is the only surviving factory with this particular tower design. Of additional interest as part of a close group of smoking-houses of various dates and designs in the square bounded by Surtees Street, Brown Street and Sidebottom Street (qv).
