Dry Dock No 4

This dock was built as a replica of Dry Dock No 5 (formerly the Great Stone Dock) and was lengthened in 1859, at which time the entrance was widened to accommodate the wheels of paddle steamers. The Trust is currently negotiating with MOD Defence Estates to take over ownership of this dock, along with the Block Mills and Dry Dock No 5.
