A house was almost certainly present on the site of 7 Castle Street by the first half of 17th century. The enriched rib plaster ceilings it is said to have had are believed to date from 1610-1640. In 1869 it was described as a dwelling house with 'yard and offices' but by 1874 it was described as four cottages. John Wood's map of 1843 suggests an open quayside at the rear. The property appears to have been demolished between 1936-1946.
