Dist:0.2km<br/>Sharpness Docks developed after a new dock was built in the 1870s to accommodate the larger ships then coming into service that were too big to pass up the Sharpness canal. Prior to this all ships continued up the canal to discharge at Gloucester. Warehouses were built beside the New Dock, principally to accommodate imported grain and timber. Sharpness Docks continues as a working port, but most of the old warehouses have been replaced by modern facilities.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I'm not sure that these are parts of cranes - but that's what they looked like. They are in a yard behind warehouses at Sharpness docks.
