Quay walls
GV II
Quay walls. C15 and C16 with later repairs and alterations;
extended southwards to connect with Bearscove Castle (qv) in
1839. Local limestone rubble with larger blocks as coping
stones. Vertical stone retaining wall rises from the estuary
to the old cobbled quayside, and extends from Bearscove Castle
at the south end to a northern return as the platform for
Island House, No.25 Lower Street (qv). It includes a flight of
granite steps down to the estuary opposite No.7, Port View
House (qv).
This was the main quay until the building of the New Quay in
the late C16; there was certainly a stone quay here by the
C16.
