Anchor Chambers

Anchor Chambers is an early 19th-century inn located on Nene Quay in Wisbech. The building is constructed of local red-brown brick and features a hipped slate roof. It stands two storeys tall, with attics and basements, and has a symmetrical facade divided into three bays. On the first floor, there are two recessed twelve-paned hung sash windows set in cambered gauged brick arches with stone cills, along with a central blind window. The ground floor has two boarded windows, which were originally similar to the first-floor windows, flanking a boarded door that is topped with a round-headed gauged brick arch and a plain fanlight. The side elevation includes two entrances, a capped central stack, and two dormer windows. Historical references include photographs and prints from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as a publication by A.A. Oldham titled "Inns and Taverns of Wisbech" from 1950.
