Higher Sandquay, located to the north of the Sandquay Yard, dates from 1793 when it comprised a large wet dock and three slips. The only building present seems to have been a joiner's shop located over a stable. In 1861 the yard was said to be derelict. With the arrival of the cadet training ships Britannia and Hindustan at their permanent moorings in the river in the 1860s, the Admiralty acquired the northernmost part of the yard for shore-based activities. By 1871 a boat house, fives court, gymmasium and smithy had been constructed, and by 1886 the map shows that the Admiralty had extended their holding, with the wet dock and slips having been filled in to provide a recreation ground.
