The sugarhouse originated in 1831, it changed hands a few times and became the Greenock Sugar Refining Company, In 1865 it was bought by a syndicate titled the Glebe Sugar Refinery Company, which included Abram Lyle who was managing partner until 1873. The Lyle family moved its interests in sugar refining to Plaistow, London, in 1882, and the Glebe refinery was continued by others. ref. R.M. Smith, 1921.

It is now a B listed building, at risk.
