In 1961 three double-ended barges provide a jetty against the southern side of which five craft are moored parallel to the bank. In 1967 the jetty has been extended to four barges, the moored vessels have changed. The 1985 photgraph shows two more barges moored alongside the last barge of the jetty. In addition this barge is connected by a walkway to a fifth which is close to the low water mark. By 1990 the jetty has been reduced again to four barges from which a narrow walkway provides access to new, all tide moorings. All the barges forming the jetty are decked.
