Archaeology Notes

NS32SW 123.15 33323 22442

Formerly entered as NS32SW 250.

For associated warehouses (centred NS 3345 2223) in South Harbour Street, see NS32SW 124.

Location formerly cited as NS 3332 2244.

The Ratton Quays [NS32SW 123.14 and NS32SW 123.15 ] on either side of the river were rebuilt in 1713, and again in 1724-30, and much restored subsequently.

R Close 1992.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. The available map evidence suggests that this quay extends or formerly extended from NS c. 33220 22548 to NS c. 33451 22301.
