The east end of the former ropewalk that had otherwise been taken by Ind, Coope & Co. was developed by Daniel Luke Moss, a Fieldgate Street stonemason, who put up a warehouse with a steam engine in 1846 and a court of twelve small houses, Moss’s Buildings, in 1848. The southern part of the site was redeveloped in 2005–8, for eleven flats with shops and clothing workshops in a four-storey block built for Unicastle Ltd, with Clements & Porter Architects (later Richard Bonsor, architect), and Eyekon Contractors Ltd, builders. In 2016 its shops are the Urban Chocolatier and Dot Print.1
