In the eighteenth century, Dawpool, which lay between Caldy and Thurstaston was a significant harbour, based on the anchorage at Dawpool Deep. It had seen the writer Jonathan Swift pass through on his way to and from Dublin, and had employed two customs men, due to extensive smuggling operations in the area.
