Exeter Archaeology, 2001, Archaeological Assessment of Proposed Development of Former SWW Depot at the Quay, Kingsbridge, 5 (Report - Assessment). SDV141022.

Prior to 20th century reclamation, the line of the quay wall ran along a line passing through the present car park. It is not clear whether the promenade lies on a natural ground surface or on reclaimed ground prior to circa 1800, when map evidence becomes available.
