Glasson Dock

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Mon Sep 16, 2024 9:10 pm

A couple of weeks or so ago now I paid a visit to Glasson Dock near Lancaster, this is where the Glasson branch of the Lancaster canal joins the estuary, very picturesque, we did a walk along the canal there. Also of interest to me was the Hitachi crane and Sennebogen material handler. :thumbup:

Visited there in the 90s, it is an odd sort of place.
Amazed it is still an operating commercial dock as it is not an easy place to navigate to and most of these small harbours closed to shipping as ships got bigger.
