About Ryans
The National Inventory rates Ryans Regional, one of 181 in Dolphins Barn. Its record dates Ryans to 1880–1900. 87 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The relatively unadorned façade of this building is greatly enhanced by the handsome render shopfront, which provides contextual as well as decorative interest. The elaborate capitals, fluted pilasters and eyecatching consoles demonstrate the skill of the designers and craftsmen who constructed the shopfront.

Questions about Ryans
Is Ryans on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50080314).
Can you visit Ryans?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Ryans built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1880–1900.
Is Ryans protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
