Map
Type and Period (1)
Full Description
{1} When the Grand Junction canal was built in 1796 the canal company acquired 29 poles between the canal and Weedon Road, Stowe Hill. They sold this site to William Letts in 1818 and soon after he sold it to Thomas Adam Watson who built a Wine Warehouse and his residence, Stowe Hill House, adjacent. The warehouse was trading in 1835 but by 1841 Watson was 'independent' and seems to have given the business to his brother, Joseph, who it at his Globe Hotel, Weedon Road, from 1840. The building was used for agriculture (battery hens) until about 1950 when it was converted into a house, originally called Kingfishers.
