'New Quay Yard'. Improvements made in mid-19th century by the builder of Richmond Dry Dock. Three-masted schooner 'P. T. Harris' was built here - the last merchant sailing ship to be built at Appledore and the last-but-one merchant schooner to be launched in Britain. After World War I 'New Quay Yard' became one concern with 'Iron Yard' and 'Richmond Dry Dock'. During World war II some 40 wooden naval vessels were built here. Now (1949) a ship repair centre.
