It is possible that the buisness was utilising some or all of the three storey jettied timber-framed buildings which fronted Lower Bridge Street (see CHER 10699).

Part of the frontage of one of the buildings is visible in one photograph; the building has a marked industrial character and may be a replacement to the earlier timber framed building.

"Probably sometime during the early post-medieval period, the site became occupied by a group of three-storey jettied timber-framed buildings, which were illustrated by Louise Rayner (1832-1924). The date of this painting is unknown, although it was probably undertaken before 1874,………..the buildings were then in use as a ‘Malt Store’, belonging to the Chester Northgate Brewery Co."
