Range of warehouses with offices, now offices, shops and residential units. 1851-1857, rebuilt 1861 and C20. By W Snooke & H Stock. PLAN: the northern group of Hay's Wharf complex, formerly connected to south block fronting Tooley Street by 4-storey bridges over Counter Street. Altered, restored and rebuilt inside as U-shaped plan around wet dock (now filled in). East and west ranges: 1851-6; linking Counter Street range: 1857. Much reinstated after fire of 1861; river ends rebuilt after war damage, and again in 1980s. MATERIALS: stock brick with artificial stone dressings, C20 roof extensions. EXTERIOR: main elevation of Counter Street block facing former dock (now filled in and roofed as piazza): 3 giant storeys and attic, 5 bays, central bay wider. Ground floor has round-headed brick arches with walkway through to Counter Street. 1st and 2nd floors articulated by giant pilasters with stone bases and capitals supporting stone archivolts to round-headed 2nd-floor windows. 1st-floor windows segmental-headed. Stone entablature with cornice and pediment over central bay. Counter Street elevation similar but plainer. Similar, slightly curved elevations facing dock piazza to east and west ranges, east of 25 bays, west of 21 bays.
