St Andrew’s Dock, Kingston upon Hull
The dock was opened in 1883, directly to the west of William Wright Dock. It was extended after the Hull Dock Company was taken over by the North Eastern Railway, with work beginning in 1894. The dock was in use until 1975 when the fishing industry was moved to Albert Dock at which point it closed. The western part has been redeveloped into the St Andrews Quay retail park, while the eastern part of the dock around the entrance was declared a conservation area in 1990 because of its social historic interest.
