The quay was constructed around 1800, probably at the same time Landshipping Bridge. In 1810, a tramroad was contructed linking the 3 pits (NPRNs 518773-5 and 518776) and an engine house and smithy at the centre of the network (NPRN 518777). On OS 1st edition 25in mapping, the tramroad laid ontp of the quay is shown with two short doublings of track (one corresponding with weighbridge at SN00711079) and branching into three at the far western end. Much of the quay facing stonework has collapsed and the foundations of the weighbridge are being undercut. Modern aerial photography shows the quay under tree cover.
