Exterior

One of two late C19 signal platforms of former steam packet harbour. This northern platform on wooden piles, cross-braced, with angles reinforced with metal plates, depth scale, ladder up to decking with iron bollards and railings. Two railway-type signals on lattice girder posts with ladders.

Originally a floating landing stage to the rear of this platform was connected to the quayside by a pivoting bridge, which ran between the wooden dolphins closer to the shore.
