More about this scene
In 1823 the Chamber of Commerce were so concerned about the high cost of the port dues being demanded by the Bristol Dock Co that they inquired as to what charges would be levied at other ports for the same cargoes. At Bristol the dues would be £515,608, at Liverpool £231,800, at London £210,098 and at Hull £147,587. No wonder the port was losing trade.
