Description
10 and 11 West Quay are two houses that have been converted into a hotel, dating from the early to mid-18th century. They are constructed of Flemish-bond brick and feature stone coping on the gable ends, rusticated quoins, a platband, and flat gauged arches above the first-floor windows. The roof is made of pantiles and has a brick stack on the left gable end. The building stands three storeys tall and has a symmetrical five-window arrangement. The lower floors have 6/6-pane sash windows set in forward frames, with the three central windows on the ground floor lacking arches or visible lintels. The cill of the central window cuts into the gauged brick arch of a blocked former semi-basement opening, which may have been altered in the 20th century. To the right, there is a six-panel door with a four-pane overlight, while to the left is a 20th-century door and overlight. The second floor, likely reconstructed in the late 19th century, features two-light casement windows with two panes in each leaf, set in a slightly recessed panel above a platband, with the brick in this panel laid in English bond. A passage set back to the right includes a 17th-century shallow pointed arch in front of two semicircular arches, which may be earlier. The interior was not inspected, but it is noted that the ground floor has been altered. The building is attached to the watergate and castle wall to the north.
