A Wharf is shown in this location on the Historic OS mapping of the area. It is the terminus for a tramline which runs through the chalk quarries, brick works and cement works which are alos visisble on the mapping to the south. (1). By the time the fourth edition OS map was produced the tramline no longer ran onto the wharf but it is still present. (2) The whole area has been built over by industrial works. Not clear which structures have a historical core. (3)
