Hall Quay Club

The Hall Quay Club is a club and restaurant located in Great Yarmouth. It stands on the site of a house built in 1671 for Daniel Sheppard, which was used as a town house by John Lacon in the 1760s. The building was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and served as a Conservative Club from the 1880s until 1987, with some additions made in the 20th century. The exterior features stuccoed and colourwashed brick with roofs covered in black-glazed pantiles.

The structure has three distinct parts: a central three-storey section with five windows, a bow window to the east, and a two-storey, three-window addition to the west. The central block has a rusticated ground floor with two late 20th-century horned sash windows on either side of the doorway. There is a covered and glazed extended porch that reaches the street line and ends in a gabled front. The first and second floors each have five 2/2 horned sash windows under hoods, with the center windows on each floor featuring segmental heads and hoods. A console course runs under the parapet, and the roof is gabled.

To the east, the two-storey bow window has three 9/6 horned sash windows on each floor, with ground-floor sashes featuring hoods on brackets and first-floor sashes topped with pediments. A console course is also present under the eaves. The west side has a two-storey addition from the 20th century, where a door on the left is topped by a five-vaned fanlight under an open pediment supported by plain pilasters. There are two 6/6 sash windows to the left and three on the first floor, with a parapet that has three blind panels.

Inside, the principal doors on the ground floor have six fielded panels and egg-and-dart surrounds. The west ground-floor room features wide 19th-century panelling and a dentilled cornice. An open string staircase from around 1740 has three balusters per tread, alternating between turned and twisted styles, with a ramped and wreathed handrail. The first-floor room spans the width of the central block and rises through two storeys, while the second-floor windows are blocked on the inside.
