BIRKENHEAD
SJ3289 MORPETH DOCK
789-1/9/107 Morpeth Dock
II
Dock and wharf walls. 1847, reconstructed and enlarged 1868.
By J.M. Rendel, then J.B. Hartley, engineers. Granite-faced,
with some cast-iron dock furniture. Main basin linked to
Mersey by lock, also stone-lined, the stone laid to inter-lock
for greater rigidity. The raised surfaces of the wharves
contain cast-iron hatches which gave access to the hydraulic
power system used to operate the gates etc., installed in the
1880's. Flights of steps lead down to the water. The dock
formed part of the first phase of development at Birkenhead
which was largely re-designed and reconstructed in the second
major phase of development during the 1860's.
