South-east and Central Pier, with associated wharf and dolphins, marked on the 2nd and 3rd ed OS map (1,2). A large iron pier on large round iron piles. There are six piles under the main pier and eight under pier frontage on the channel. The top of the pier has a framework for some type of roof or covering which is now gone. The top of the pier is covered in rubbish and other material suggesting it is no longer in active use as a pier. (3)
