Victoria Dock, Kingston upon Hull
The formal opening took place on 3 July 1850, with the dock given the name Victoria Dock, in honour of Queen Victoria. The Dock closed on 1 February 1970 and was infilled. In 1987 the City Council acquired the dock estate from ABP (Associated British Ports). The same year, the Council entered into a partnership with Bellway Homes Ltd to redevelop the estate for new homes, a marina, a park, playing fields, community centre, maritime museum and community school. House-building at Victoria Dock Village commenced in 1988. Remaining are The Outer Basin and Half-Tide Basin to the dock on the Humber Estuary, and the Basin on the river Hull.
