In 1866 Gleadow, Dibb and Co. Ltd. started work on a new, purpose-built brewery in Silvester Street, and the company moved to the new premises in 1868. In 1887 it was wound up, and a new company, The Hull Brewery Company Limited, was formed. This company was taken over by Northern Dairies in 1972 and the name was changed to North Country Breweries. In 1982 it was purchased by Mansfield Brewery. Brewing at the Silvester Street site ceased in 1985. Wikipedia: Link The brewery was converted into flats and offices from circa 1988 onwards; it comprises The Mash, Brewery House, Bond Warehouse, The Old Barrel Warehouse, Silvester House, Anchor House, Cooper House and Oast House. The whole is Grade II Listed: Link

In addition to the original brewery works, The Stables is a 19th century building converted for offices, including mezzanine accommodation. Jarratt House (Unit 6) is late 20th century. The monument to brewery workers is 21st century.

In the late 18th century The Georgian New Town was the first substantial development to occur outside the line of the Town Walls. The initial development consisted of terraces of houses built up to the street corners, except for the planned open space of Kingston Square. It is the area of the city where terraces from the late 18th and early 19th centuries survive in the greatest numbers. Its position close to the town centre also resulted in a substantial number of public buildings being constructed, several of which still survive.
