The site of a ferry station predating the 13th century site at Pratteshide is difficult to establish because of the changes in topography that have occurred since that time. One possible site, however, is the south side of the modern Strand where the curving course of Queen Street suggests a tongue of firm land projecting into the sandy shore.
