Telford prepared a plan to enclose the outer basin and modify the entrance to the harbour. In 1818 a contract for this work was undertaken by local brothers, John, James and William Smith, who, despite having to rebuild the storm-damaged new quay in 1820 before it was finished, completed their contract in 1828. The resident engineer was John Gibb.
