History

Early-mid C19. Faced the former dry-dock and backed onto the fishery. Site of the Steam Packet Inn nearby. In C19 it was the offices of Wye Fisheries, leased from the Duke of Beaufort; built by Alexander Miller and called after the London dealer who was the best customer. The attached lower wing was the spar loft where the long poles for stock-boat salmon fishing and nets were stored. Adjacent was the compound where boats underwent caulking repairs.

Exterior

House and attached warehouse wing. Walls rendered with scored stucco; slate roof with brick end stack to right. Two storeys. Three-window range of margin glazed sashes in reveals; tripartite and cambered-arched to ground floor. Central doorway with plain round-arched fanlight. Stepped back and down to right, adjacent to river quay, a painted brick wing with hipped pantile roof; single first floor window, 4-cambered-arched-light window to ground floor and shallow projecting bay with large cambered-arched studded boarded warehouse opening, altered opening below. River frontage is a 7-window warehouse range. Walled front garden with low railings with fleur-de-lys finials and rectangular gatepiers.
