Liverpool Canal Link - linking the Princes Docks
This gap in the dock wall was once the link between Princes Half Tide Dock, on the other side, and Princes Dock. Then a permanent wall was built to carry Princes Parade roadway, and now the gap has been re-opened for the new canal link. Photographed from the temporary roadway, which has now been removed.
