History

Dating back to 17th Century, the Neighbouring Lot 1's former heritage as a public house originally known as the Crooked Billet before becoming the Ship Ahoy! This detached, Grade II listed property offers a diverse history of offering hospitality to bustling barge trade travelling from as far as Newcastle and Kent delivering coal and various cargo to a former Crab & Winkle railway line.

The establishment held some notoriety as a former smuggler hideout before being converted into a private house and shooting lodge for the Guisnes Court Estate in the early 1900's.

The adjoining land was later purchased by the RSPB in 1984 offering wetland habitats for rare species and marshes that have featured in the BBC's filming of Great Expectations.
