Albert Warehouse (Gloucester)

United Kingdom / England / Gloucester
 warehouse, Grade II Listed (UK)

Built in 1851, this Grade II Listed warehouse was initially rented to corn merchants W C Lucy & Co. Once a year, the lower floor was cleared for the annual fund-raising tea meeting organised by the chaplain of the nearby Mariner's Chapel. In 1869, James Reynolds took over the building and converted it to a flour mill with a boiler and engine house built to the south. Initially wheat was ground between stones, but in 1880 new roller milling machines were installed. Further equipment was added over the years to keep the business competitive until the mill was eventually closed in 1977.
