Full Description

Recorded in gazetteer of significant Industrial Archaeological sites extracted from a 1980 booklet entitled 'Industrial Archaeology in and around Norfolk' and revised as 'Suffolk IA Sites in 1980' in Suffolk Industrial Archaeological Society Newsletter (SIAS Newsletter, 115, Nov 2011) where it is described as:
Pair of fine 18th century warehouses (both Listed Buildings) by basins at the head of Stour Navigation.
Basin holds the recently restored Stour lighter, which apart from the necessary addition of a rudder (Stour lighters worked in pairs, with a beam projection from the bow of the rear lighter, which became in effect, the rudder for the fore lighter) is very similar to those shown in Constable's paintings (S1).
