Dry dock

Dry dock
The dry dock in the former Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company maintenance yard at Ellesmere dates from 1806. As well as for boat maintenance it was used as a gauging dock to establish the draught of boats with various weights of cargo so that the correct tolls could be allocated. Along with the rest of the maintenance yard it remains in use and is listed Grade II*.
