The harbour was constructed in 1810 and was used as a harbour to ship grain and potatoes to Newcastle and London, and to import drainage tiles. At its heyday, the harbour had a capacity for ships of up to 100 tons. Unfortunately, its exposed location meant that the harbour walls suffered from erosion and the harbour was eventually abandoned only 20 years after repair work.
