Cresswell Quay

Cresswell Quay is an irregularly three-sided structure built at road level, extending about 30 meters out from the road to reach the deep channel of the Cresswell River estuary. The southern side is marked by the channel of the stream known as Treen Bridge Lake. The quay features stonework on the exposed faces that overlook the water, while the side facing the road is open except for a low boundary wall.

The exposed faces consist of battered-faced retaining walls approximately five meters high, with rounded corners, and their visibility varies with the tide. The retaining walls are made of uncoursed or informally coursed local rubble sandstone, which appears somewhat insubstantial for a civil engineering structure. There are remnants of upright rubbing timbers attached to the face in some areas, along with a metal ladder. Although there is currently no parapet, the tops of the retaining walls have been reinforced with concrete. The interior space is either grassed or gravelled. At the rear, adjacent to the road, there is a low stone boundary wall that appears to have been constructed after the quay fell out of industrial use.
