The red-brick building on the right, on the corner of Ferry Mews and Duke Street, was a commercial office building of c.1860-80. The ground floor was described as a waiting room for the nearby ferry in the 1895 Ordnance Survey. The building was converted to a tea room and shop ('Ye Olde Anchor Tea Shop') between 1960 and 1989. http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=955256 https://web.archive.org/web/20170222002055/http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=955256 The stone-built building to the left was a warehouse built between 1800 and 1831 with a four-storey section on the riverside and a two-storey range on the street which is now a private house. http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=955292 https://web.archive.org/web/20170226001849/http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=955292
