James with drawings of items visible when the plaster on the ground floor of No. 30 was stripped - timber framing below jetty, blocked doors and windows in rear wing of both late medieval and 17th century type, much igneous stone utilised, and suggestion that No. 28 is structurally part of No. 30.
E. Rose (NAU), 20 October 1986.

See (S1) for details.
E. Rose (NLA), 11 March 1999.

This building was formerly the Grampus public house between 1836 and 1921, the name perhaps being inspired by the capture of a 19-foot long Grampus whale in the River Ouse in 1830.
