17th century warehouse, housing a visitor centre that tells the story of Exeter's historic quayside through displays and artefacts. See 'Exeter, 2000 years of history', an exciting audiovisual programme.
The Quay House was re-built in 1680-1 at the height of Exeter's woollen cloth industry. The building was used to store cloth and other goods before they were loaded and transported down the canal. It also had an overhanging roof, which enabled cargos to load and unload out of the rain.
Today the history and development of Exeter's Quayside is brought to life with lively displays, illustrations and artefacts. There is also the opportunity to see "Exeter - 2,000 years of history," an exciting audio-visual presentation highlighting Exeter's history from Roman times to the present day.
"Very interesting - lots to see, fascinating history and well organised as a tourist centre. Would recommend." Mr J Earp, Newton Abbot, August 2005.
