Description
DARTMOUTH
SX874510 BAYARDS COVE 673-1/8/43 (East side) 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. (Freeman, Ray: Dartmouth and its Neighbours: Phillimore: 1990-: P.54).
