I have a vague recollection of it having been a store, Farm Industries or something like that? There are some old pictures of Quay Street in the albums, maybe a name will show? It was a shop and store in 1920 or so. A grocer in 1895 (Henry Row), and ten years previously it was a Ship s Block Maker s. If no one else comes up with anything, I could probably find better information in time.
I have traced Henry Row Grocer back to 1893 (Kelly s Directory). Unfortunately the practice of recording and numbering premises did not start in any detail until around 1880. I have found several reference to a 3rd Public House The New Inn, sailmakers, shipwrights and carpenters (including a John Symons any relation S?) which you would expect to find. It would appear that there was a lot of development in the area after 1825.
This is the trouble that I am encountering with another street in town; it means a painstaking trawl through census records, tithe apportionments and lease records either side of the property; it is not an overnight answer; the hard one is what it was directly before it became Le Tarot.
