Elegant stone structure enclosing large windows with three decorative dormers. The Yard has rows of heavier pilasters and deep set windows. The warehouse for Pape at the far end of the Yard was designed by William Finley a year later. The ancient (possibly Elizabethan) Unicorn and Golden Lion Public Houses were demolished for Johnstone's new buildings. LOCAL LIST
