Abstract: |
The report describes the results of a watching brief conducted during construction work at the former King's Dock site on Liverpool's waterfront. The site was formerly occupied by the King's and Queen's Docks, constructed in the late 18th century as Liverpool's trade expanded. Both docks were heavily modified in the early 20th century and filled in during the late 20th century and extensive remains of the earlier structures were not expected to survive. The watching brief found the remains of a setting for a swing bridge across the 18th century entrance lock to Queen's Dock, the partial remains of the quayside to Nantwich Basin and a deposit of early 19th century pottery of a type manufactured for export to the Americas. |
