Demolished at the turn of the century (the beginning of 'The Noughties'), these somewhat rickety buildings at the top of Bond Street, opposite the side of County Hall carried the two sets of lettering shown:
'ST. MICHAEL'S WORKS' and
'The BLACK BARN'
The rear of St Michael's (which fronts Upper Brook Street) Church Hall is in the background of the right-hand photograph above (central in the picture below), with both buildings in the foreground.

The site in Bond Street, now cleared and converted to - you guessed it - a car park.

If we'd been building this site twenty or more years ago, we could have included the long-abandoned The Mitre pub a few yards up on the corner with St Helens Street (now occupied by Mitre House), an unpreposessing building which bore its name on the wall until demolition.
