On the 1882 O.S. map landing stages were recorded all along this part of the river, however this one seems to be later as it is in a slightly different position. In 1882 neither of the Queensferry bridges existed, so there was ferry traffic across the river as well commercial traffic along it. The relatively modern concrete bridge can be seen behind the jetty, and beyond that the top of the old blue bridge can be seen.
