Locally Listed Building: Denhall Quay, Quayside, Little Neston (LL46)

Denhall Quay LL46 (Previously LL LN/1) Address: Quayside, Little Neston Architect: Not known Date: mid C18 Description The quay is constructed from massive sandstone blocks, which form a jetty which extends into the estuary. Close to the Old Harp Inn, the quay was built in the middle of the 18th century to export coal from the Denhall Colliery to Ireland and the Isle of Man. The quay also served the later colliery at Neston. When, in 1866, the railway arrived at Neston the quay became redundant. Condition Part is still reasonably solid – nearer the estuary the jetty has collapsed and stones are dotted around the area. Current use Grassed over area with benches providing viewpoint across estuary. Updated March 2007
