WEYMOUTH

SY6878NW CUSTOM HOUSE QUAY
873-1/24/63 (North side)
18/06/70 No.9
John Deheer's Warehouse

GV II

Warehouse, in use as entertainment centre, formerly Hanneys
Fish Warehouse. Mid to late C19. Broadmayne and other dark
brickwork in Flemish bond, hipped slate roof.
PLAN: a tall warehouse with long return frontage to East
Street.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys, 3 x 6 bays. The quay front has 3-light
wood mullioned casements to flat segmental heads and stone
sills, in sunk panels to wide segmental heads, and central
pairs of glazed doors with protective railing to former
hauling ways. At ground floor is a wide central opening to
concrete lintel and recessed doors, flanked by smaller plank
doors with plain transom lights. In the upper 3 levels the
ends have broad brick pilasters with a stone capping band, and
there is a stepped brick eaves cornice.
The East Street front has 6 recessed panels to segmental heads
and with brick flat pilasters to a head band; 3-light
casements to flush stone sills at each level, but bay 1 has a
wide square opening with plank door under a saw-tooth brick
head, and bays 2 & 5 have plank loading doors, above wider
ground-floor openings. Above the first floor is a thin string
in saw-tooth brick. The stepped brick cornice returns from the
quay front.
INTERIOR: modified and sub-divided to accommodate current
display material, but original cast-iron columns, in 2 rows,
remain. At the back floors have been removed in 3 bays,
leaving full-width heavy square transverse beams with joist
housings. The roof is exposed queen-post construction with a
central cat-walk, and the upper walls reduce to panels with
piers. The stone stairs are contained within a brick shaft.
A forthright design which is little altered externally, and
with substantial internal remains, it is an important quayside
element.
