Description
Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition of 1898.
The quayside wall was constructed between 1772 and 1826. The land-retaining wall marks the extent of North Shield’s medieval town and is located within the Fish Quay conservation Area. The wall is comprised of 14 courses of sandstone ashlar blocks covered in concrete render and reinforced steel mesh. The upper 3 courses of wall are probably a later c.19th century height extension or repair. In the 20th century concrete coping, timber joist, concrete deck, two drains, timber mooring posts and a possible ramp were added.
