Taken in 1966, this rather large building was originally the offices and works of Thomas Furness, brother of Sir Christopher Furness.

Thomas Furness was a provision merchant with a large business covering the whole of the North East and importing from the continent, New Zealand and America. The company also had a lard factory in the Belle Vue area. The lard was marketed throughout the UK in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
