Platform Tavern white plaque

This white commemorative plaque records: The Platform Tavern dates back to 1873 and is of historical interest as it is built against the old town wall built around 1350. The wall can be seen in the bar the stonework exposed to show its original state. The town wall was washed by high tides until the Eastern Quay was built around 1830. The house name is derived from its proximity to the Quay outside God's House called The Platform which contained a gun battery for ceremonial purposes.

The Platform Tavern, established in 1873, stands against a section of the old town wall constructed around 1350, showcasing medieval stonework within its bar. Its name and location reflect its historical connection to the defensive and ceremonial structures of the area, including a nearby gun battery on The Platform by God's House.
