Central Granary.
The principal improvement undertaken through the Millwall Dock Equipment Company in 1900–3 was the building of a huge granary, to store grain and to minimize handling associated with its transfer from ship to railway or truck.
The Central Granary remained the principal granary in the Port of London and a vital part of London's grain trade until 1969, when the opening of the Tilbury Grain Terminal made it redundant.
