The building was built sometime before 1885 and used by a Coal Merchants until it was converted into a Pea Factory in 1891 by Albert W Hall and Sons.
In 2013 plans were announced for it to be transformed into a multi-storey student accommodation. The plans included a walkway between Brayford Wharf East and High Street will be added for pedestrians and cyclists, linking the two areas more directly.

In November 2014 the University of Lincoln annouced plans to convert the site into a six-storey learning centre. The new development is hoped to house the university’s schools of Psychology and Health & Social Care.
University of Lincoln spokesperson, Ian Richards, said: “The University of Lincoln is developing plans for a new academic building on the Wigford Yard site on Brayford Wharf East, next to our existing David Chiddick Building.
It would also create a new pedestrian route linking the High Street to Brayford Wharf East, further improving the integration of the city centre, the university campus and the Brayford waterfront.
