GV II
The remaining walls of a 6-acre dock. 1834-38. By Isambard
Kingdom Brunel. For the Wearmouth Dock Company by Royal
Charter. Opened for traffic 1837; 1846 purchased by York and
Newcastle Railway Co.; sold by NE Railway in 1922; by 1934 the
property of the River Wear Commissioners. Granite ashlar. All
the NW, much of the SW and NE, and part of the SE walls of
what was originally a square-plan dock with entrance lock
gates from tide basin at south. High wall with curved batter
and bull-nosed edging; vertical timber buffer strips set in at
intervals. Construction was by building one course of back and
front walls at a time, filling space with mortar and setting
core stones within that mortar so as to ensure a completely
solid structure. Part of NE and SE walls survive behind
late-C20 landfill. Part of SE wall demolished together with
entrance.
A significant structure by one of the greatest engineers of
the C19.
