Description
The quay walls of Mud Dock, located on the south side of The Grove in Bristol, date back to the 18th century. They are constructed from squared Pennant stone with granite coping. These walls are likely the oldest surviving structures of the inlet docks that were part of the tidal harbour before the establishment of the Floating Harbour. Mud Dock is also known as the Great Dock, which was the site of the Great Crane built in 1735. This structure is part of Grove Wharf and is one of the three City Docks.
