Main building, flat roofed three-storey building of 1905-06 (but altered) was formerly part of Lush & Cook dye works. The street pattern has been altered but the building once stood on Allanmouth Road opposite Combass Road - both now vanished residential roads. The joint company (formed 1891) extended south and west towards the Hertford Union Canal. Two pitched roof, stock brick buildings, one, a partial survival at right-angles to the canal behind the main building and one parallel to the canal further west are also of interest.
