The existence of the medieval chapel (see PRN 36191) suggests that there was significant settlement alongside the harbour in the middle ages, probably incorporating one or more quays. By early 17th century Salcombe had become a major maritime settlement, and by late 18th century there were several established shipyards. Between 1796 and 1887 these were extended by foreshore reclamation. Most are now quays and small boatyards.
