Publication Account (1995)
On reclaimed land, probably with the south side of the street on the higher part of the original beach, 10 Market Street, a two-storeyed Georgian house, now the residence of both the local Department of Trading Standards and Reporter to the Children's Panel, manages to retain a little of its original dignity. It was built as a licensed hotel and known as The Queen's Arms. The main entrance, as today, was in Market Street and a side entrance in Queen Street gave access to the public bar. Although blocked up, traces of the doorway remain in the east wall.
