Image 3 [below] is an attempt to fix the original Herculaneum Pottery site over today's developed land.
The above image was the starting pointing. This was then laid over two OS maps from 1848 & 1906 to fix any remainding boundaries from the original site. ie: The original Dock, and extent of the pottery site was still shown. Finally, I've added the Google Earth view over the top for some context.

With thanks to Quentin Sharples, who's help I was grateful for, in putting this compilation together.
