Recorded as being the port of embarkation for troops heading to Ireland in the reigns of King John and Henry III.
The port retained its importance after the Civil War, when the town made its living mainly from coastal trade, especialy to and from Ireland. Cargoes included wool, corn, tallow, cattle and, in the 17th century, coal from Wales.
The harbour operated as a registered port until 1839. Other details: 4.1, 6.1.
