Built in 1810 by Charles Busby, the building has sculpture by JG Bubb. It originally housed a club for mercantile interests, and the wind-vane indicator helped merchants estimate the arrival times of shipping. It is now a pub owned by Wetherspoons.[1]

It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[2]
