Scott's Quay
A granite quay was built here at the start of the 19th Century by Charles Scott (hence "Scott's Quay"), and used to export stone from the nearby quarries and ore from the mines too. The original quay stuck out more into the river (visible as seaweed-covered blocks at low tide) and was designed to reach into the creek far enough for vessels to dock in the river water below the mudflats when the tide was out. The stone for the quay itself may have come from a small quarry on the other side of the track into the field. It's possible that less fancy stone was required to build the quay whereas the material being transported from the quarries to the north could be sold for a good price.
