Full Description
In 1957 work was undertaken by the Canterbury Water Co. in Westgate Grove on the left bank of the river. This revealed a solid masonry structure built of large blocks of stone, the river-ward edge of which was in line with the centre of the modern road. It was traced for a distance of just over 9.14m, where it then left the line of the modern trench. It lies some metres from the present river bank and the intervening space was filled with black mud, but it is fairly clear that it represents a well constructed quayside, perhaps built about the same time as the nearby Westgate.
