The quay, once of some significance in the area has survived as a long level terrace about 10m wide and at least 70m long jutting out to the edge of the tidal mud of the river. Some stonework has survived on the south side as a short length of revetment on the side where there is a short creek. The flat top of the quay once carried a tramway - shown on the Tithe Map of 1837 but gone by the time of the first 25 inch O.S. survey. Built for shipping anthracite from the nearby mines. 5m above O.D.
