Hartland Quay. The pier, finished in the late 16th century, was probably built by William Abbot of Hartland Abbey. It was originally served by a steep road which led directly down from the cliff-tops. The head of the pier was washed away in 1887. There was also a limekiln on the quay.
Illustrations include one of a local bank note.
