Full Description
Alongside, and to the rear is an extensive range of single-storey workshops mainly dating from the late 19th Century, and probably built to service harbourside activities. The stone frontages with brick dressings under triple-ridge tiled roofs are little altered, and have been usefully adapted to their current use as craft workshops. Some retain stable-block paved floors or forecourts in variable condition. [1]
