Description

The quay walls at St Katherine's Dock were built in 1828 and are made of brick with granite dressings and copings. These walls enclose the west dock, east dock, basin, and entrance lock of St Katherine's Docks, which were designed by Thomas Telford. The rebuilt wall to the north of the west dock is not considered to have special architectural interest.
