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).
