Exterior

One of two late C19 signal platforms of former steam packet harbour. This southern platform similar to northern but slightly smaller, on wooden piles, cross-braced with angles reinforced with metal plates; decking with iron bollards and railings. Two railway-type signals on slim solid posts with pinnacles, and 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.
