Timeline 8

Henry Yelverton was once again awarded a contract to complete another extension.   The equipment needed included a pile frame, and an iron weight known as a ‘monkey and a strong horse’.  The jetty was constructed by skidding out two strong beams over the water which supported the pile frame, the horse was used to pull the ‘monkey’ up through a system of pullies and trips until the weight was high enough to drop onto the pile with enough force to drive it into the sand.
