ROW EIGHTY FOUR   [1]

 John Ireland's Row, (Mayor, 1716)[2] 

 Ship Tavern Row *2

 

From Middlegate Street to  Howard  Street:           

The  north  side  of  this row is occupied by the congregational  lecture hall and school rooms (now redundant and for sale in 1991).  On the south side may still be seen four quaint over-doors, a survival of the type that was general in times past. The two inch flat bricks so rarely met  with may be seen in this row. Attention is drawn to the few remaining tapestry irons in Yarmouth,. Three good specimens may be seen on the front of 6 and 7 Middlegate Street. From these irons were displayed paintings, banners, tapestries garlands, etc., on festive occasions.[3]

At the south‑west corner was a tavern called "The Ship", which greatly flourished during the war with France, but was much reduced  in size and importance, part of it having  been  converted  into  a butcher's shop. At that tavern the sale of "prize goods" usually took  place, and property of  enormous value changed hands. Here after the Battle of Camperdown  in 1797 many officers taken prisoners in that memorable sea fight were lodged.[4]
