Liverpool Canal Link - working in Princes Dock 2
A view of Princes Dock during construction of the Liverpool Canal Link. Although the open water of the Princes Dock was to be used, temporary vehicular access was required to build a new lock in the south west corner of the dock. The white concrete wall on the left is part of the lock channel.
