Bawdsey Quay is a historical quay in Suffolk, England, situated on the River Deben, near the village of Bawdsey. The quay dates back to the 15th century, when it was used as a landing place and port by local fisherman and traders. Throughout its long history, the quay has also served as a shipbuilding site, a base for the British and American navies, and a refuge for evacuees during World War II.

The quay has a long and varied history, which is closely linked to the development of the town of Bawdsey. The town was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and at the time, it was a small fishing village. By the 15th century, the quay had become a bustling port, with traders and fishermen coming from all over the region to sell their wares. The port was used to transport goods from the Suffolk coast to London, and by the 16th century, it was an important hub for the region’s fishing industry.

In the 18th century, the quay was used by the British and American navies, which built and maintained warships there. During World War I, the quay was used as a base for the North Sea Patrol, which patrolled the North Sea to protect merchant shipping. In World War II, the quay was used as a refuge for evacuees from London, who were brought to the area by the Royal Navy.

Today, the quay is a popular tourist attraction, with visitors coming to experience its unique history. The quay is one of the few remaining parts of the original port, and it is a great place to explore the local area and learn more about the history of the area. Visitors can explore the quay itself, visit the old shipbuilding site, and stroll along the river. There are also a number of cafes and pubs nearby, so visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the sights and sounds of the quay.
