Description
Hay's Dock and Storehouse, built around 1825, is an irregularly shaped dock enclosed by piers to the north, featuring a curved eastern end and a storehouse. The quay walls are constructed from large stugged sandstone blocks, with some areas including stone and cast-iron bollards and mooring rings, as well as iron cramps between the copestones. There is a slip to the south with stepped sides and a concrete-covered ramp.
The storehouse, dating from the early 19th century, has a gabled rectangular plan. Its walls are made of stugged sandstone rubble, which has been cherry-caulked, and it features stugged sandstone dressings. The corners are chamfered and corbelled out to a square shape at the first floor. As of 1995, the storehouse is roofless.
The south elevation is asymmetrical, with a small rectangular window featuring iron bars at the center, a slit window to the right, and a recess with a stone mooring bollard on the ground to the left, above which is a small square opening. The west elevation has a gable end with a wide door at the ground level and a loading door at the first floor that rises into the gablehead. The north elevation is blank, while the east elevation mirrors the west elevation but has a narrower door at ground level.
