Keyhaven-4594
The remains of an old jetty at Keyhaven marshes. The area was used extensively for the production of salt from Roman times and possibly before, reaching a peak in the 1700s and finally ending in about 1846 due to the supply of rock salt which was cheaper to produce.The jetty was used to offload coal for the manufacturing process and to export the sea salt to the continent.
