SO8218SE THE DOCKS 844-1/11/343 Dry Dock south of Engine House, 12/03/73 including crane (Formerly Listed as: THE DOCKS Dry Dock (adjacent to Alexandra Warehouse))
GV II
Dry or graving dock. 1852-3. Built by William Guest for the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal Company. Brick-lined basin capped by stone kerbs with a protective railing of slender cast-iron bollards linked by pairs of pipe rails. Entry to dock from the south-west side of Main Basin through a pair of timber gates surmounted by footbridges; continuous stepped revetments to sides and semicircular end of dock basin, with iron late C19 crane. The dock preceded completion of the Gloucester and Dean Forest railway line opened in 1854. It was built in order to facilitate the repair of vessels in and the export of coal from Gloucester, rather than go to a South Wales port for repairs and then pick up coal for export. (Original Drawings in Gloucestershire Records Office: D2460 Drawings 9-F).
