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]
