More about this scene
After the turn of the 19th century, Glasson Dock was used more and more by pleasure craft. Wealthy mill owners and industrialists found it handy to leave their boats in the shelter of the dock or the canal basin, and leisure became more and more a source of income for Glasson Dock. Here we see only two working ships to four pleasure cruisers, though ships could only come and go into the dock on a rising or high tide. Our hotel has had a big facelift: it stands out white and ornate in Victoria Terrace, which contains a pub at either end.
