The former Surrey Docks, which operated from the mid 19th century, were used as a timber storage pond and later a dry dock. Alluvial deposits outside the dock cuttings on the site may have contained evidence of the prehistoric landscape as a previous investigation on the site recorded peats dating to the Bronze Age. Bulk excavation was carried out carefully to expose the existing listed dry dock without causing any damage.
