CASTLE QUAY
with 12 bollards, from and including
steps, to slipway at Civic Centre end
GV
II
Quay fronting River Taw. Probably late C19. Stone rubble with
kerb of squared granite blocks secured by iron ties; some
blocks have been replaced in concrete, mainly opposite the old
Town Station where the sand dredgers unload. At SE end a
flight of granite steps leads down to the water. Surface of
quay at NW end asphalted; SE end tiled in 1986. 12 cast-iron
bollards, spaced out along whole length of quay, all but the
9th from the SE with shaped tops; 6 of the bollards have the
numbers 1, 7, 2, 5, 4, and 6 moulded on the top (in that
order).
The warehouses that formerly lined the quay on the far side of
Commercial Road have mostly disappeared, but a range of former
bonded warehouses at the SE end are listed as part of Queen
Anne's Court in Castle Street (qv).
