Former The Studio Nightclub, located at Craythorne Lane, Boston. The club was originally two separate warehouses, known as the "Gaol Granary" and "Sibsey Lane Warehouse". Robert Hall's 1741 plan of Boston shows an L-shaped building that is comparable with the profile of the Gaol Granary. Architectural evidence suggests that the Gaol Granary may have been constructed in the late 17th or early 18th century. The 1741 map also shows a small warehouse on the site of Sibsey Street Warehouse. John Woods 1829 map of Boston shows an extension of the former warehouse on the site of Sibsey Lane Warehouse. The OS 1887 map shows a further extension on the north elevation, with further extensions linking the two warehouses together. {1}{2}{3} The earliest known occupier of Gaol Granary were Griffin and Lowe, who were linseed and cattle cake merchants, and are thought to have occupied the site from the early 19th century. The Granary was occipied by Ingrams seed merchants, before transferring to Sinclair McGill seed merchants in 1973. Sibsey Lane Warehouse was occupied by James Ridlington, a wharfinger and coal merchant, who eventually moved into wines and spirits. White's 1856 Directory noted that Ridlington had made all of his warehouses "Bonded Warehouses" by that time. Harry Bateman was noted as the propietor in 1922. The Ridlington's held the warehouse until 1933, when they ceased use of the building. The warehouses were eventually combined in 1973. By 1984, it was the premises of the Town Pump public house. The building was later converted into a nightclub, known originally as The Rainbow, before becoming Bentleys and finally The Studio Nightclub. By 2023 it was derelict, with the interior being stripped out. Both Warehouses are constructed in English Bond brick, and follow earlier warehouse layouts of long narrow buildings with an alleyway alongside. The warehouses are conjoined along the southern elevation with a distinctive inset brick panel infill. Gaol Granary was originally three storeys and had a pantile roof. The upper floor and roof were removed in the 1970's, and a flat roof was installed in their place. A string course is present between the ground and first floor of Gaol Granary, consistent with a late 17th or early 18th century construction date. Sibsey Lane Warehouse is three storeys with a pantile roof and an additional attic room. The attic room was rebuilt in the mid 20th century. A section of the southern gable wall of Sibsey Lane Warehouse contained earlier narrow brick walling, the random bonding suggest early 17th century date, and likely part of the original building seen in Hall's 1741 map. The southern gable end contains doors on each floor, which have now been converted to windows. The interior of both buildings would have originally been open plan for storage. Both warehouses show traits of heavy duty timber work to support the floors for large quantities of goods. The western elevation of Sibsey Lane Warehouse was opened up in the 1970's when the two buildings were conjoined. Both buildings underwent alterations following the conversion to a public house and later a nightclub. This included the addition of staircases and partitions to accomodate additional facilities, such as cloakrooms, toilets, bars and service areas. Much of the modern interior features were stripped out following the clubs closure. {4}{5}
