Browne’s Place and Key
Browne’s Place was rebuilt from 1384-1394, and in 1434 Stephen Browne, grocer and mayor, bought the site and by 1463 it was known as a great messuage (Carlin and Belcher 68). From 1361-1517, the adjacent wharf went by many names: Ass(h)elynes Wharf, Pakkemannys or Pakenames Wharf, Browne’s Key, Dawbeneys Wharf, Cuttes Wharf, and Bledlowes Key (Carlin and Belcher 68).
Referred to as Brown’s Wharf in Harben, which records that the wharf was removed in 1827 (Harben).
