Preston, Docks 1893

More about this scene
Before 1892, all ships delivering to Preston would use the riverside for loading and unloading. The year 1892 saw the opening of the Albert Edward Dock Basin: here we see that dock just a year later. The success of the docks can be measured by the large number of ships tied up there. Note how countrified the area behind the quay looks - today, that area is a shopping complex with fast food outlets.
