Description
A dry dock on the west side of the canal, associated with a group of three on the east side (405207-10).

This dry dock was constructed after the secondary canal terminus had gone out of use. Stop planks are shown in position at the entrance to the main basin on the 1877 OS 25-inch map sheet 24.4. The actual dry-dock utilised the entrance to the main basin, as shown on the 1897 2nd edn. 6-inch sheet 24NE.
