Row 87 map

From Howard Street to King Street:            

When Mr.Steward  the  pawnbroker was  in  business,  his  pledge  tickets bore the address  of money office row. Rumour had it that a box of  treasure had been buried in  the  row,  but  Palmer  suggested that a money  club, the fore‑runner of the modern savings bank, held its  meetings here.  This row was paved in 1907. 

At the south‑east corner was a large public house and the liquor shop now called St.George's tavern, but formerly  the "Sawyers Arms", and after that  the "George the Fourth", at which  time  the front was rebuilt and brought  out.

 

At the north‑east corner was a house  which  in  the last century was  the  property  of John Playford. He died in 1820, and bequeathed  it  to  his  grandson, John Playford, who in 1833 was drowned whilst bathing in the sea.

 

At  the north‑west corner  of  this  row  was  an  old  house  with ornamental ironwork on the front, next to Howard Street. Here were some arches with a  groined roof in a cellar, occupied by Mr.Jacob Preston, wine merchant.  

 

The 1936 row survey says    A branch row off its south side has a very ancient wall, with a closed window under a pointed arch. There is a block of five three storey houses which could be opened up, and their yards cleared.
