Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Ramshackle Sheds on West Wharf of Alexandra Dock Derelict Pier and Sheds on the West Wharf of Alexandra Dock in Hull.
The Hull & Barnsley Railway Company in 1911 built the River Pier next to Alexander Dock. The pier which is to the west of the dock entrance stands 400 feet into the River Humber and is 1300 feet long with a minimum depth of 18 feet of water. It was linked to the shore with two gantries which had an electric conveyor belt running over it capable of moving 600 tons an hour. On the pier were transit sheds used by vessels in the Continental fruit and vegetables trade. On September 30th 1982 the dock closed to commercial shipping and many of the buildings were listed as architectural and historic interest in August 1990 by the Department of the Environment. |
