South Quay, Including South East Side Of Carnsew Dock

South Quay, including the south-east side of Carnsew Dock, is a Grade II listed structure built around 1819 for Harvey and Company, specifically Henry Harvey. The quay walls are constructed from granite and killas rubble, granite ashlar, copper slag blocks, and granite dressings. They enclose three sides of a peninsular wharf, with the long side facing north-east, forming one side of a long narrow harbour. The walls are scalloped in plan, likely to allow boats to dock alongside. The north-west wall is part of Carnsew Dock, which was designed to enable the periodic sluicing of accumulated silt by releasing a large volume of dammed water. The walls are slightly battered and feature dressed granite copings. A ceremonial opening of the sluices took place on December 27, 1834, attended by the mine's adventurers and other customers and friends of the Company, who were invited to breakfast at The White Hart Hotel.
