GV II

Merchant's house, shop with house above. Medieval site. C17,
with C19 and C20 modernisations. Mixed construction; stone
rubble side walls with plastered timber-framed walls front and
back; side wall stack with rendered chimneyshafts; slate roof.
PLAN: End onto the street, probably 2 rooms deep.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; one-window range. Plastered and all C20
features, but the jetties indicate the survival of original
C17 timber-framing. C20 shop front to the ground floor with
central doorway, and to right, a C20 panelled door to the
house. C20 windows with glazing bars to the upper floors.
Plain eaves to hipped front end of the roof.
INTERIOR: Only the ground floor was available for survey. It
has been cleared of all partitions and all carpentry is
covered. There is, in the middle, a late C19 cast-iron column
with Corinthian capital supporting the first-floor structure.
Rest of interior said to have newel stair and likely to be of
interest.
HISTORY: The line of Lower Street was originally the
waterfront. Land to the east was reclaimed in the late C16 and
thereafter it became a main trading street connecting the old
quay at Bayards Cove with the C17 New Quay around the present
Boat Float.
