Description
The first Town Jetty was completed at the bottom of Osnaburg Street, (now Bridges Street), originally to be 130 yards (119m) but was reduced to 75 yards (68.5m) for financial reasons. It was built by Dunn and McKail for £100.
It was used by the P&O Company from 1853 to establish a coaling port at Albany, but this caused so much damage that the jetty partly collapsed and was then only used to ferry passengers and luggage to and from ships. It was demolished in 1877.
