Dock and quay walls on River Tawe at former White Rock works of uncertain date. They were part of the stone quays and tidal basins, which by the early C19, almost continuously lined the 4.8km dredged and navigable length of the lower Afon Tawe. It would seem that there was a dock already here in 1737 when the copper works were built, this dock used by Thomas 2nd Baron Mansel for shipping coal, connected by the 'Great Coal Road' to the collieries at Llansamlet. The stonework has been altered over the years and was renovated in late C20 when the ruins of the works were landscaped.
