Tyrwhitt's Wharf

Tyrwhitt's Wharf is a transhipment stable built in 1823 for Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt of the Plymouth and Dartmoor Tramway, with possible extensions in the late 19th century and later alterations.

The building is constructed of granite rubble with a timber roof structure covered in slate, and the floor is made of poured concrete. It has a rectangular shape and is a single storey with a hipped roof. Granite quoins are present at each corner, and in the right corner, there is an angled granite stack with a cast-iron flue. The north-east elevation features a double-width opening with a replacement timber lintel, flanked by smaller openings that have been sealed with concrete block and stone. Both end elevations have former large openings that are now blocked with stone.

The principal roof structure consists of four adapted trusses and a single row of purlins, with late 20th-century inserted timbers added to support failing elements of the structure, resulting in a noticeably undulating roofline. In the north corner, there is an iron and brick fireplace. The walls contain several iron nails and niches, as well as the truncated end of an iron pipe fixed to the south wall.
