Weymouth Quay — Dorset, England
What is a Quay? A Quay is a wharf or reinforced bank where ships are loaded or unloaded.
Brewers Quay is an area in Weymouth located near the historic Grade II building that was originally a brewery which closed in 1985. Until recently it was used for commercial purposes, housing the Weymouth Museum, shops and other amenities.
Note: The Brewer's Quay Building is Closed.
Although the Brewer's Quay building is undergoing remodeling to accommodate the 2012 Olympics, the Museum will be relocated and available to visit as of the summer 2011, until it can once again be relocated within the Brewer's Quay complex.
