The Ship Inn retains interest for its overall survival and prominent harbour-side location. The lower building adjoining to the south and now part of The Ship Inn, was previously separately listed as the Old Fish House. Its appearance (now drastically altered) was that of a traditional mid 19th century rubble cottage with gable toward the harbour. Its John Street elevation included a 'piended dormer loft door and brick fish curing tower with ventilators'.
