Former GWR Revetment Walls along N side of South Dock

The former Great Western Railway revetment walls along the north side of South Dock are a long section of snecked rubble wall featuring six multi-arched bastions at irregular intervals. These bastions were originally the supports for elevated rail decks leading to coaling towers at the edge of the dock. The wall has ramped sections and plain parapets, which have been partly rebuilt, situated above a band course. The arch rings display voussoir treatment, and the fields are ramped. At the eastern end, the wall is splayed back to the northeast and includes an external stair with modern concrete treads and a metal handrail, ending on a grassy embankment just south of the Leisure Centre. An arched elevated track once extended past Victoria Station. There are occasional arched pedestrian ways that pass through the arches beneath the former railway embankment, including a wide parabolic arch towards the western end where the wall steps back from an angled bastion with a single arch before continuing briefly at a set-back line.
