Brush Factory, North Witham Bank, Lincoln
Grade II Listed Former brush factory and attached warehouse. Late 18th and early 19th century with east range raised in the 19th century. A wholesale brush warehouse and factory possibly with a wharf owned in 1817 by John Jackson. By 1823 it was owned by Thomas Flint. In 1904 it was gutted by fire and appears to have been largely rebuilt above the ground floor as a warehouse for a Mrs Walker, architect W Mortimer and Son. Flints merged with Singleton in 1905 and moved to Newland Street West. 1907 to 1911 or longer it was Lincoln Printing Company. Lincoln Council Heritage Assets say that may have been used as the printing works of L J and W J Harrison around 1928 to 1941 but it is unclear. Kelly's 1965 lists "Harrison W. J. (G. H. Brothwell & W. H. E. Richards, proprs.), printers" but again unclear what building it is in. 'PRINTING' is visible on the east wall brickwork. Again in the Heritage Assets it tells us in 1950 it was Mumby and Son Ltd, wholesale clothiers, of course two businesses could occupy the property. It was converted to offices for Gilbert Blades solicitors, who addressed themselves as on The Glory Hole, in 1975 and vacated in 1999 (Possibly due to a merger with Wilkin Chapman).
