Positive contribution to the Conservation Area. The building has one brick 9" walls and a circa 1997 red tiled concrete roof (would have been slate originally). The Tanner's Bank façade has been cement rendered and over painted in white. The windows are timber with opening casements, painted white. The building is now owned by Digitax Ltd.

Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition of 1898. Connected Bedford Street to Lower Bedford Street. Named after Grieve's Ironmongery (HER 7855). During the 1800s the town began to sprawl up the banks towards the higher ground in an attempt to escape the overcrowded riverside. Roads could not be built up the steep gradient and so a series of stairs connected the riverside with the high town. Dwellings, public houses, shops and workshops clustered around these stairs which Hutchinson (1776) described as busy, narrow, dirty alleys.

A level 2 building survey conducted on the quayside wall in 2019 wall in advance of repairs. The wall was constructed between 1772 and 1826. The 56m section of the land-retaining wall marks the extent of North Shield’s medieval town and is located within the Fish Quay conservation Area. In total c.38m of the wall is aligned on an NNE-SSW axis, the remaining 18m of the wall is on a WNW-ESE alignment. The wall 3.7 to 3.12m high and comprised of 14 courses of sandstone ashlar blocks covered in concrete render and reinforced steel mesh. The sandstone blocks measured up to 700mm x 320mm while the upper 3 courses measured 1060 x 320mm and 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. The north-east corner of the wall was collapsed and temporarily stabilised at the time of recording.

Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition of 1898. A four storey Georgian brick building with a corner entrance. The pub curved to fit the site. The corner was recessed. Two circular upper storey windows were dressed with decorative stone facings. In 1850 the landlady was Mary Dawson. It was still a pub in 1964. By 1966 it was due to become a betting shop. It was demolished not long afterwards.

This steel and concrete structure dating to 1937 is the third bridge built to preserve a right of way across the 1839 New Cut through the Ropery Banks. The original timber footbridge was built in 1839 to restore the right of way along the bank top when the 'New Cut' was dug through the Ropery Banks, creating what is now Borough Road. This was replaced by an iron footbridge on substantial sandstone abutments c.1850. This in turn was replaced by the current bridge in 1937, utilising the masonry piers and abutments constructed as part of the earlier bridge structure.
The bridge has a total span of 39m and is 2m wide. The Borough road footbridge is acknowledged as an undesignated heritage asset and is considered to be a contributing factor to the character of the New Quay Conservation Area.
The bridge was subject to historic building recording in 2022, prior to demolition (event 5353 report 2022/57).

Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition of 1898. Gave access to the church school and Yeoman Street from Borough Road. Still there. During the 1800s the town began to sprawl up the banks towards the higher ground in an attempt to escape the overcrowded riverside. Roads could not be built up the steep gradient and so a series of stairs connected the riverside with the high town. Dwellings, public houses, shops and workshops clustered around these stairs which Hutchinson (1776) described as busy, narrow, dirty alleys. The stairways are important to the character of the Conservation Area. Their names remind us of long gone people and businesses.
