- "In order to provide a market for the coal, four salt pans were constructed a third of a mile south-east of the harbour. […] Thereafter the route of the original line was followed to the harbour, beyond which an extension, a third of a mile long, led to the salt pans and a newly constructed inn, the "Stafford Arms", where Lady Stafford tried unsuccessfully to educate the locals to drink beer instead of a strong whisky. […] The prosperity was short-lived, and in 1828 the salt pans closed and the railway extension was lifted."
