This peaceful area was the height of activity at two points in history. During the 1600s, there was a clay boom here that saw this dock used in the transportation of hundreds of tons of clay to London each year. In the 1800s, the dock sprang to life again with a short-lived fertiliser boom. Both booms ended when their respective materials simply ran out.

Now, the remains of the 19th-century dock building lingers as a relic to the area's frantic industrial past.
