| Remarks: |
The area surrounding the grid reference given was described on a C.17 estate map as 'the olde salteron'. In 1955 the only remains of the salterns were two embanked enclosures, which were probably the feed or catch ponds. These areas have now been further reduced and incorporated into ornamental gardens surrounding the School of Maritime Studies. The banks of the enclosures on the water side were further altered and strengthened to form the sea wall, so there is no evidence of sluices or feed channels remaining. The evaporation pans were probably situated to the south, on land which has now been reclaimed for pasture. SMR SU40NE12. |
