Abstract:		 The Old Passage, functioning until 1966, was an ancient and strategically significant but hazardous ferry that linked Aust with Beachley across narrows on the Severn Estuary. It provided a means of communication between England and Wales. The remains of four landing piers survive in the intertidal zone at the Aust end of the route. Dating in part from around the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century, the most recent of these is an elaborate, compound, timber and stone structure which served both vehicles and foot passengers. The other three are apparently earlier but their date is otherwise uncertain. Two of these piers are also timber and stone structures which accommodated vehicles as well as foot passengers. Documentary evidence from the eighteenth century shows that vehicles could at that time be carried on the sailing boats that formed the ferry. The piers represent one of a number of essentially rural sites at which there is archaeological evidence for the network of trade and communications in the Severn Estuary and inner Bristol Channel that existed up to the middle decades of the twentieth century
