South flank rebuilt C17 and C18, altered C20. Pierced at intervals by C20 windows and doors. Gabled roof. North flank undisturbed late C15 English bond brick which continues into west gable, but with much repair. C20 window in gable-head. Brick wall continues south along present river line and contains a blocked entrance with a chamfered brick arch. This is the former watergate which would have opened directly into a warehouse, suggesting that the restaurant warehouse was much wider until narrowed in the C17. INTERIOR. Roof of re-used cambered tie beams. 2 tiers staggered butt purlins, taper-tenoned. Renewed collars, i.e. mid C18.
