The former Winding House, built 1866, is the sole surviving building of the former Victoria Dock. It was designed to accommodate a coal-fired steam engine and winching mechanism to pull vessels along the former patent No.2 slipway, since converted to a pond. The building is currently unused; it is intended to convert it for multi-purpose use with modern facilities. The winding engine is currently on display at Hull Marina; it is to be relocated to its original home.

Victoria Dock opened 1850 and closed to commercial traffic 1970. The following year the dock, except for the half-tide basin, was filled in. In 1987 the City Council acquired the dock estate from ABP (Associated British Ports). The same year, the Council entered into a partnership with Bellway Homes Ltd to redevelop the estate for new homes, a marina, a park, playing fields, community centre, maritime museum and community school. House-building commenced in 1988.
