Description


PENRYN

SW7834SE QUAY HILL 580-1/6/129 Anchor Warehouse 29/01/85

GV II

Bone mill. 1843-4, probably by the Meade brothers; altered late C19, with extensions at rear and on either side. Killas and granite rubble walls with granite quoins and brick dressings to segmental, nearly round-arched openings; battered quay walls of large granite blocks; brick parapet to temporary felt and battened roof covering to front range, otherwise corrugated iron roofs, some with weatherboarded gables, plus pantiles to small wing on right. 3 storeys plus attics; 4-window range river frontage. Old 2-light transomed windows (formerly louvred) to most openings; blocked, or partly-blocked loading doorways towards right; tall mid-floor window between lower floors, on the left fronting the former engine-house bay. INTERIOR retains most of the original floor structures and roof structures; floors of rear wings supported on reused large iron flanged pipes and granite corbels in the rear wall of the front range; large round chimney breast behind front range. A rare example of a building of this type. (Smith J (for English Heritage): The Anchor Warehouse: An Archaeological & Historical Assessment: Truro: 1991-).
