Quay Stores And Band Of Stone Paving Around South And West Sides

Quay Stores is an 18th-century building located on Quay Street, featuring a painted brick facade and a tiled roof. The structure is divided into two parts: the lower section, which has two storeys and faces south towards the entrance from the Quay, has a hipped roof at the southern end. The taller section, also two storeys with a dormer, includes a modillion eaves cornice. The main or western facade has two windows and one blank space, with unbarred sashes that have flush frames. The ground floor contains three small 19th-century shop windows, with the southernmost window slightly advanced under a small roof. Only vertical glazing bars remain. There are two doors with small, bracketed hoods. A narrow stone-paved area surrounds the base of the building and continues up the slope to Quay Hill. Quay Stores occupies a prominent position at the end of a row of listed buildings, where the street narrows at the main entrance from the Quay to the town centre. The paving around Nos 4 to 6 forms a group with Nos 1 to 3 and the Bird Cage opposite.
