  1. These piers form the Old Harbour and East Harbour. The oldest is the Old Pier dating back in origin to the 2nd half of the C13 but in a ruinous state by 1565-66 when a large grant was made by Queen Elizabeth for its reconstruction, later restorations as well: massive stone rubble with timber shearings, refaced in parts. VINCENT'S PIER was built next soon after 1732 - also massive stone rubble with timber shearings. This pier has the LIGHT HOUSE (qv). The EAST PIER was built between circa 1790-1812 creating the East Harbour. Massive stone blocks, set on curve, with sea wall. The WEST Pier was begun in 1817 as a southerly enclosing arm to the Old Harbour - similar massive stone blocks to East Pier. Late C19 Harbour Master's office and Fish sheds.
