Abstract:		 A riverside tavern on this site is documented by 1722 and called The Gun since 1771. In the N half of the building were brick-lined cellars, probably 18th-c, and a 1st-floor room fronting E on to the river. This room, partly timber-framed, with ceiling coving and crude cornices, and entered by a timber spiral staircase next to a brick chimney stack, could be late 18th or early 19th-c in date and was probably for dining: local Whitebait Suppers were highly fashionable c 1720-1900. An unproven association with Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton would imply a terminus ante quem of 1805, when Nelson died. This room did not coincide in plan with the ground-floor rooms below, but the order of construction could not be verified; the ground floor could have been partly rebuilt while preserving the dining room above. The river front was then rebuilt in brick, documented as having a ground-floor bay window and 1st-floor balcony. A two-storey block was added to the S, documented in 1875, of brick with hipped, slated roof, and containing a mahogany and mirror-furnished bar room, kitchen, separate stairs and bedrooms. Its stucco street front extended to the N, where the previous front was rebuilt, but only one storey high. In the 20th c the bay window and balcony were removed, the N wall rebuilt with an adjoining warehouse (demolished in the 1980s), another timber-framed room added on the 1st floor and ground-floor lavatories added to the S.
