Chandlers Lane is one of the oldest and most intact historic streets within the area. Now private homes - the buildings on the west side were converted from the former harbour workshops that date back to 1837. The large chimney marks the "smiddy" - a blacksmith's workshop where ship's chains were repaired.
The east side of the lane has also been converted to private homes - these buildings were once the offices and workshops of the Panmure shipyard. The Panmure shipyard built the RRS Discovery.
