Extract from the 1875 Ordnance Survey Map; The wharf just reaches as far as the Gas Works. Abbey Slip disappeared into the sea, as did Neddy Betty's Lane
originally, before it became Albert Street (Prince Albert had visited the new Albert Pier before it had been completed). Note also the area around Batten's Wharf, which still exists, in part, as the buttressing wall of the Jubilee Pool. My father grew up in Coinagehall Street. To the east of Batten's wharf is the old gun Battery.
