Description
6, 7 and 8 South Quay are former quayside offices and warehouses, now converted into residences, dating back to 1763. The buildings feature blocked stucco over cobble and rubble sandstone walls, with dressed stone detailing around most openings. The roof is made of Cumbrian slate laid in diminishing courses, with plain eaves and a kneeler at the stone coped verge. The rear slope of No. 8 is covered in modern concrete tiles. A tall brick chimney is located between Nos. 6 and 7, while a low rendered chimney is found on the gable of No. 8.
The properties are two storeys high and consist of three bays overall, with each property being a single bay. No. 6 has a late 20th century door and paired late 20th century mock sash windows on each floor to the left. The openings are uniform in size and have the same cill detail; the ground floor features a flat stone lintel with a moulded cornice above, while the first floor window is divided by a square cut mullion, with each side having a segmental head. No. 7 has an inscribed lintel reading "WB No.1 1763" above a panelled door. To the left, there is a large window with paired late 20th century casements beneath a bracketed moulded cornice, and the first floor has two windows, each with four-pane mock sashes. No. 8 has a panelled door, and to the right is a large window with similar moulded details as No. 7; these windows are also paired late 20th century casements. The first floor has a single window with a late 20th century mock sash.
The rear elevation, facing the yard, includes several extensions of various dates and a mix of window styles. These buildings are believed to have been constructed for William Blennerhassett, the former Lord of the Manor of Flimby, who exported coal from the quay in the 18th century. They hold group value with No. 1 New Crown Yard, and Nos. 2 and 3 South Quay, as well as the Naval Club.
