    WOODS JETTY/ GLENLEITH AVENUE JETTY - History

    The Glenleith Avenue Pier was built sometime between 1908-1920, and was advertised as part of the Pakington Estate in 1923 (P6). The private jetty was also known as Woods Jetty (Strachan, 2000: 30). The pier is shown with a cross pier to the north at its extremity, and what could be an enclosed baths midway on its northern side in 1939 (G389). The pier was not mentioned in sailing directions for 1959 (Ports and Harbours Branch, 1959), so may have been in a state of disrepair by that time. The jetty was destroyed in 1979 and replaced by the Griffins Gulley Jetty in 1972 (Strachan, 2000:30).
