Remains of Palace Quay, Harkstead
The quay on the Stour estuary dates back to about 1900 and was in active use in the first few decades of the 20th Century. It used to serve Thames sailing barges which took hay, straw and agricultural produce from the farms on the east coast to London, often returning with London's horse manure to fertilise the fields.
