Barratt's mill, and the Corporation gave him a piece of land at the corner of Fennel Street, opposite the Dog and Partridge Inn at the end of Hanging Ditch and Fennel Street, and also a splendid site for his warehouse and offices in the new Corporation Street, where the firm of Barratt and Trueman were for many years as butter, cheese and corn factors.
