Dry Dock (adjacent to Alexandra

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.
