Appendices . . . .

Appendix A - Details of Illustrations

Figures 1a, 1b and 1c

All these figures are loosely based on a plan annexed to an Agreement dated 5th June 1857.

Figure 1a includes information taken from a document written by Ernest T. Bevan and dated 1949. This information concerns the boat-building yard and the 'Pilot's Cottage' and these have been placed on the plan in what is thought to be their approximate locations.

Figure 1b includes information taken from recent plans to show the approximate new course of the River Ely and outline of the dock as it was at the time. Note that the reclamation of land at Grange Point to provide more area for Ely Tidal Harbour is not shown.

Figure 1c shows the outline of the dock as it was in 1884 based upon recent plans. Again details of the north side of the River Ely have been left off the plan.
