Description

Prince's Dock is a shipping dock built in 1827, with alterations made in the mid and late 20th century. It features ashlar retaining walls topped with rounded copings and includes cast-iron bollards. The dock has a rectangular shape with slightly curving sides and blocked entrance channels located at the north-east and south-east corners. It measures approximately 200 meters by 120 meters. Currently, much of Prince's Dock is covered by a shopping centre development that is supported on piles above the water, extending over the west side.

Prince's Dock receives an average of 780 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 61% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 55% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
