Rebuilt at various periods, most recently 1824, by Francis Giles. 2 parallel
moles. Huge ashlar blocks, partly revetted with iron and re-inforced concrete.
Concrete blocking course round edges. Remainder of harbour walls have huge
timber piles (some with iron driving rings round top) instead of the iron revetment,
all bolted to a timber land-tie. Wooden landing ladders at intervals all
the way round. Slipway at east end with iron drawbridge for pedestrians.
Modern bridge over weir on north side. Some stone drains: original stone
paving shows through tarmac in parts.
