Despite being an old harbour, a number of changes have been going on in recent years; on the left of the photo, you can still see a piece of a construction site fence. The little bridge in the photo is now gone, though a new steel bridge has now replaced it. When I took this photo, I was standing on a jetty on the side of the Havendam that has now disappeared.
