Statement of Significance
Goods were unloaded from the sailing ships into dinghies or onto lighters (flat barge type crafts) and then onto
the jetty. Flat trucks carried the goods to the warehouse and the trucks were pulled by horsepower, or
manpower, then transferred to donkey and horse drawn wagons for the journey to Ravensthorpe.
The lightering jetty was thought to be privately owned. Il was under the control of a wharfinger who collected
dues from the ships' captains. There was a two foot wide tramway from the warehouse down to the jetty.
Physical Description
The jetty was 600ft long, 16ft wide went into the water 7ft deep.
