The Dock Bench Trio ...

Located at the junction of the tidal River Severn and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, linking the two dock areas, are Gloucester docks. The transformation from flourishing Victorian docks to tourist attraction appears seamless, with the warehouses converted to businesses, 2 museums, shops, narrowboat hire, cafés and restaurants and a marina. The area is as busy now as it was during its Victorian heyday.

HDBTBM everyone, stay cool those of you south of the jet stream and stay dry those of you north of it!!!
And hope everyone has a happy and healthy week.

It's a really good conversion without altering the shell of the buildings, as was done so successfully in Liverpool's Albert Docks. I have never been to Gloucester, so must put that right.
A super shot Maggie. Enjoy the new week.

Nice to see these old building being used again. Far better IMO than just tearing them down and building something steel and glass in their place. Excellent photo, too.

I love this milieu you are sharing, Maggs. Old docks and warehouses are fabulous pieces of architecture, and to see these, and the area around them refitted for current use is a treat. Thank you. Really enjoyed the set.

It's great to see places like this preserved, probably the cheaper option too, and certainly best for climate change.
Have a great week!

Those buildings are very impressive and it's very pleasing to see that their character has been maintained whilst also creating a very attractive tourist attraction. It's good to see some of the dockside structures and the boats in the PiPs as well.

A fantastic series Maggie............they show how things should be done!
