Phoenix Wharf and Redcliffe Parade are historically significant for their role in the military preparations against Philip of Spain in 1585-1586, where troops mustered and were inspected by the Earl of Pembroke. The wharf's name may derive from a connection to King Alfred, though this is speculative.
