where many of the larger boats can be hauled out on a sledge, up a slipway, to have work done on their hulls.

There will be an Open Day in September when you can get behind the scenes but there are all sorts of explanatory boards around which you can read now that explain how the 'Floating' Dock was made from a fast flowing river harbour. The large red block of a building behind this is an old Wills Tobacco Factory. This is the end of my One Street but taken from the waterside
