Abstract:
During the 18th and 19th centuries the timber framed buildings along Dolday were rebuilt or refurbished in brick, the 1795 map, albeit schematic clearly shows a ribbon of buildings running west along both sides of Dolday, in the 18th century this road was a 'back' lane to Newport Street itself a main route from the city's upper quay. The warehouse is first mentioned in the trade directory of 1837, when 29 Broad Street was recorded as being occupied by bakers and flour dealers. By this time the warehouse was already an established business meeting an increased demand for corn brought about by a steadily increasing urban population. During the late part of the nineteenth century the fortunes of the warehouse continued to prosper and with some diversification of business, it was occupied by two traders, a corn and seed factor and a grocer. By 1900 however, the area suffered economic decline and by the beginning of the 20th century it had acquired a reputation for squalor and crime. The buildings were mostly demolished in the 1930s, and the old topography lost when All Saints Road cut Dolday in two. Significantly the warehouse, presently attached to a retail outlet on Broad Street (second only to the High Street in its importance to trade) is all that survives above ground of this ancient street.
