Abstract: |
An historic building survey of the former Masons and Mariners Public House, Portland, Dorset, was prepared by AC archaeology in February 2016 in advance of the conversion of the building into a shop and residential accommodation. The property is Grade II listed and situated within the Underhill Conservation Area. An historic building appraisal has previously been prepared by AC archaeology, which outlined the development of the building. It was constructed as the Royal Victoria Hotel in around 1870, probably very slightly earlier, and formed part of a group of buildings associated with the terminus of the railway to Portland. It comprises several blocks but these are all probably contemporary, with the exception of the brick extensions on the north side and a porch attached to the south elevation that date to the 20th century. The original layout of the hotel has been established, and this does not appear to have changed much since its original construction. The main 20th-century alterations are the addition of extra bedrooms that have been created on the first floor through the addition of stud walls. These probably originally contained public reception rooms rather than bedrooms. |
