Liverpool Canal Link - temporary roadway across Princes Dock
This temporary roadway and dam was built across Princes Dock so that the north end of the dock could be drained and then it could be linked up to its northern neighbour, the Princes Half Tide Dock. The roadway has now been removed and the new canal link opened on 20th April 2009.
