History
Marked as being completed on 1832 plan but slips then ended further S. By 1858 slip had been extended to line of front of Western Camber. Length in 1858 was 258 feet, in 1891 384 feet.
Since 1981 the character of nine building slips to E of this one has been lost, together with Eastern Camber. The section from No 4 slip W is the only remaining part of the original shipbuilding area.

NE angle stepped up and curved. C20 shipbuilding shed over S end and canted S end walls altered to lengthen slope. Large winch dated 1908.
