Description

Prince's Wharf and Wapping Wharf are quays and bollards located on Cumberland Road in Bristol, constructed between 1874 and 1876 by Thomas Howard, a Docks Engineer. The structure is made of granite and Pennant stone, featuring cast-iron bollards. The quay walls are primarily built of concrete, with a mix of the best hydraulic lime and Portland Cement, faced with stonework and granite. There is a projecting bay, and the Fairbairn Crane, which is listed separately at Grade II*, is also part of this site.
