More about this scene
In 1900 it was decided that the cargo handling and berthing facilities at Avonmouth needed upgrading so that the larger steamers then being built could use the port. Work began in 1902 on a new basin, and it was opened by King Edward VII in July 1908. The Royal Edward dock had a water area of 25 acres and a graving dock 875ft in length.
