Tales from the Docks |
|
|
The buildings in the Docks are impressive, but the lives of the people who built and once worked in them are less obvious. There are over 200 years' worth of amazing tales to be told. |
"This Extraordinary Inland Port" - Charles Dickens
A few families made fortunes out of the Docks, trading as far afield as Russia and Norway. They have left a lot to remember them by. Much less is known about hundreds of people who worked for them, may be you can help us to find out?
There have been many extraordinary events connected with the Docks, from tragedy and natural disaster to celebration and joy. Unexpected and unbelievable visits, from tropical insects to submarines and heroes have always ensured there has always been an extraordinary tale to tell.
