Description
The walls and four mooring posts to the North Dock Basin in Sunderland were built between 1834 and 1837 by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Wearmouth Dock Company, following a Royal Charter. By 1847, the structure was owned by the York and Newcastle Railway Company, and by 1934, it came under the River Wear Commissioners. The walls are made of granite ashlar and feature a high design with a curved batter and bull-nosed edging. The mooring posts are cast iron. This structure is significant as a work by one of the greatest engineers of the 19th century.
