Grade II listed Fish House, Newnham
Also known as Newnham Salmon Hut. The small mid to late 19th century building is on an embankment on the west side of the River Severn, next to the A48.
Grade II listed in March 1987. The British Listed Buildings website states
"A very modest structure, but of historical interest through association with the Severn salmon fishing industry and one of the few remaining evidences."
The building is usually flooded several times a year by the highest spring tides, so the fishing equipment was stored upstairs. There are two drainage holes either side of the door to let flood water drain away. The grills prevented vermin entering the hut and damaging the equipment especially the nets. Brick flooring allowed river mud left by a flood to be cleaned out easily.
