Southampton Water Seaplanes

Are there any ancients on here who recall anything about the Southampton Water seaplane terminals please? My wife and I took a boat cruise last year around Southampton Water and we were shown the derelict mooring places for seaplanes. On one was what looked like a small version of a wartime control tower. This got me thinking... donkeys years ago I had the first issue of the General Aviation Flight guide - like a sawn off Air Pilot. Now I'm fairly sure that in the COM section, Southampton Water was listed with the callsign "Southampton Pinnace". Can anyone confirm this please?
