CONWAY FISH - Heritage Inventory Description
The site appears to be underneath a modern brick warehouse. The interior floor seems to on the grade so the construction of the warehouse may not have impacted much on the site. The warehouse seems to have been constructed in two stages with the earlier stage at the back of the site and a more recent extension on the front facing Whitehall Street. The site is accessed via Yewers Lane.
