The Hope Tavern was
situated at 22 Hope Street. This became a tavern in the 1850s having been a
beerhouse before this. 23 and 24 are Grade II Listed early 19th century
houses. 22A, presumably filling the gap that was the 'Middle Yard' is a
recipient of the Weymouth Civic Society Annual Award for "good restoration
and high quality new development projects". Hope Street was formerly
numbered the other way round and numbers 23 and 24 would have been numbers 1
and 2 as the census shows number 3 as being the Hope Tavern that is the
building that is now number 22. (Directory entries for Hope Tavern:
