Full Description

Ingress Abbey Wharf and Pier marked on the 3rd ed OS map (1). The jetty is now demolished. Any pier and structures in the channel are now removed and nothing is visible above the waterline. There are substantial remains visible on the riverbank. Numerous wooden piles and crossbeams survive with iron fittings. In some places it seems the jetty piles survive up to the jetty floor height, about 5m -6m. The surviving remains on the shore are about 100m x 40m at their ends. They are 10m wide along long axis. There are scattered smaller timbers on the foreshore maybe only remains of east wing of the jetty. (2)
