Brunswick Wharf belonged to Mr William Gould, a local builder and timber merchant.Here barges discharged sand and gravel dredged from the nearby Taw Estuary. Mr Gould's residence, "Northgate House", stood between the warehouse in the picture and North Walk/Rolle St. Until it closed in 1935, the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway track ran between the warehouse and Northgate House and crossed Rolle St by a gate controlled crossing.
