The old harbour which lies to the east of its modern neighbour is a structure dating at least from the 17th century. In December 1655 and again in 1658 it suffered severely from storms (1). Cromwell granted £300 towards defraying the expense of the east pier, which was begun during the time of the Protectorate and from this is still known locally as ‘Cromwell's Harbour’.
