More about this scene
The first reference to a slipway on Priory Bay was in 1897. In 1958, owing to increases in the amount of farm produce being transported from Caldey, steps were taken to improve the landing facility for boats. Redundant barges, relics from the D-Day landings, were filled with concrete and sunk to extend the slipway. Landing alongside, a boat from Tenby is collecting waiting day visitors to the island.
