The westerly of the two dry docks in Worsley Boat yard just before closure, 1969.

T1662. This photograph, taken looking south across the Bridgewater Canal, shows one of the two dry docks in Worsley Boat Yard during 1969. The vessels inside appear to be box boats. They held specially constructed boxes which were used to transfer coal along the Bridgewater Canal. The dry docks were constructed in 1760 and are still in use today.
