£290k Base Rent. Pillar & Lucy House is a Grade II listed warehouse built in 1835 on the east bank of the Gloucester Sharpness Canal for sugar importers Messrs Phillpotts and Baker. Gloucester Docks, originally constructed in the early 19th century to support the city's expanding trade, have since been revitalised into a lively cultural hub. The upper floors, supported on a colonnade of cast-iron pillars, extended over the quay to provide temporary covered storage. From 1850 the building was occupied by corn merchants - initially J & C Sturge, followed by W C Lucy & Co in the 1860s and Smith & Cornock from the 1890s. In 1917 the building interior was damaged by fire. Gloucester City Council granted planning permission in 1983 to convert Pillar & Lucy House to offices, a pub, wine bar and restaurant. The covered quayside was a huge asset when the ground floor opened as a pub The Waterfront in 1984. Two years later it had become live music and real ale venue The City Barge. Following extensive refurbishment of the entire building, the very popular Coal Kitchen bar and grill opened in 2007
