Jute mill built for Henry Boase, 1866, by Pearce Brothers engineers. Beside the 3-storey mill, with its original beam engine house to Craigie Street, there is a very tall engine house which was added in 1906 for a vertical marine engine and rope drives lit by tall arched windows. A substantial boardroom oriel was added in 1913. From 1955 it has made plastic packaging for the food industry, now owned by Discovery Flexibles.
