A new passenger landing quay was created on one of the off-islands in the Isles of Scilly. The people of Bryher, with a population of around 50, wanted to have a quay that could be used at low tides. This low cost structure was constructed within a week by a volunteer team organised as part of a television programme.

Beckett Rankine designed the quay using readily available materials sourced from the islands, augmented by materials that could be transported easily to site from the mainland. Emphasis was placed on simple construction techniques that could largley be assembled manually.
