stone walls and steps, docks, cranes, slipways and built forms (CHL Criterion d).
The development of shipbuilding and dockyard facilities has responded to the requirements of different ownership or management systems, changing technologies, ship building techniques and particular contracts (CHL Criterion a).

Conserve the legibility and centrality of the dockyard-related uses and associations.

Recognise and retain wherever possible the 'idiosyncrasies' of the dockyard's character relating to its physical fabric and relationships to the Island's historic uses and associations.
The range of elements associated with the shipbuilding and dockyard facility date from the 1850s and include items of remnant equipment, warehouse and industrial buildings and a range of cranes, wharves, slipways and jetties which illustrate the materials, construction techniques and technical skills employed in the construction of shipbuilding and dockyard facilities over 140 years (CHL Criteria b & d).
