Pomona Docks
Pomona docks was a set of five docks on the Manchester Ship Canal. Unlike the Salford Docks, now Salford Quays, there has been little redevelopment.
Dock 5, Ordsall Dock, was a rectangular dock on the opposite bank to the other docks, and was situated directly opposite docks 3-4. Docks 4-2 left the canal at an angle, running east from the canal, each around 200 yards long, whilst Dock 1 (mostly in the City of Manchester) was somewhat longer at 233 yards , and ran almost parallel to the canal in a NE direction.
