Description

The Gunboat Yard Jetty and Crane, built in 1861, consists of the remains of a boat crane and jetty. The design was created by the Admiralty Works Department, led by Colonel Greene, the Director of Works, and William Scamp, the Deputy Director of Engineering and Architectural Works.

The jetty is constructed from timber, while the crane is made of cast iron. Located at the north end of the gunboat yard, the jetty and crane are positioned between the mean high and low water lines in Haslar Creek.

Currently, the remains of the low jetty are disconnected from the shore and include posts, rails, and a few timbers that form a deck for the crane. Only the base of the crane survives, which still features the drum, gear wheels, and frame.

Local climate

Gunboat Yard Jetty and Crane receives an average of 810 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 52% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
