There were quite a few shops in West St.

Looking down West Street from the Church tower, note the amount of housing in West St. most of some considerable age. the tall chimney is in the shipyard, look at the empty ground on the corner of Quay St. and West St.

On the opposite corner to the Chapel is the Shipwright Arms pub,and on the far side of the shipyard,you can see the Toll house, where you paid a toll to get through to the Rowhedge ferry. Brought back memories.  Bluetrane.
