Finally found our image of the pre harbour (proposed) construction map. -This was in the thread regarding the Guyzance Manufactory storage building on the Coquet so ignore the arrow-
You can see locations of four separate staithes. Perhaps they are timber from the old staithes. Hard to work out if any of the positions agree.
