The lock entrance to Drypool Basin, or entrance to Victoria Dock, from the Old Harbour. St Peter’s church Drypool can be seen in the distance. I have always assumed that the double-fronted house was a Dock Office of some sort but do admit I cannot see it on the 1853/`6 or 1889 OS plan, although it is shown in F.S. Smith’s drawing of 1884. Note the large stands of timber piled up on the quayside. This view coincides almost exactly with Smith 2/133
