SKDocks gives a brief introduction to the history of the area. A London Inheritance have done their usual thorough job with lots of images.
In the 1976 film To the Devil a Daughter Richard Widmark's character has a flat here so you see inside a converted warehouse.

This was replaced in 1994 so the one on film is earlier, possibly the original?
