The wharf lies between the Hermitage stream to the left and another stream (I do not know the name of - if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated) to the right. A coaster will arrive every few days and deposit its load on the hard standing. Dumper trucks move the load into a hopper (seen below) from where it is moved on belts and dropped into the appropriate storage site.

Having moved astern to leave the wharf and swing the bow round into Hermitage stream proper, the ship now moves down the estuary towards Langstone Harbour shipping channel.
