Description
Limekiln Dock is an 18th-century dock characterized by brick walls on the north side and concrete facing on the south side. It features some wooden buttresses and has an appealing small body of water surrounded by a group of warehouses on the north side. This dock is included for its group value, as it is part of a collection that includes the warehouses on Dunbar Wharf and Nos 142, 148, and 150, which collectively enhance the significance of Limekiln Dock.
