Woodbridge Suffolk Photos - Ferry Quay and Bass's Dock

Tell a friend - Eating Out - Accommodation (link)

Ferry Quay is so named because, in past times, the high-water ferry to the Sutton side of the river Deben, was operated from the end of this quay. The remains of what I have always assumed was the landing stage on the Sutton side can be clearly seen at low tides.

The rowing boat is on the dockside, where you would normally walk.

and the larger boats that are moored in Bass's Dock.

Just behind Bass's dock, really, but recorded on 24 December 2004 because it is not likely to be there for much longer.
