Description
The dry dock north of the Engine House is a 19th-century graving dock, built in 1837 on the site of an earlier dock from 1818. It features a brick-lined basin capped with stone kerbs and is protected by a railing made of slender cast-iron bollards linked by pairs of pipe rails. The dock can be accessed from the west side of the Main Basin, adjacent to the Engine House, through a pair of timber gates that are topped with a footbridge. The sides of the dock have continuous stepped revetments, and the basin has a semicircular end.
