Former English maritime port now housing & commerce buildings
Preston Dock (also known as Preston Docklands) is a former maritime dock located on the northern bank of the River Ribble approximately 2.5 km (1.6 mi) west of Preston's city centre in Lancashire, England. It is the location of the Albert Edward Basin which opened in 1892 and is connected to the river by a series of locks.
The dock is 25.6 km (15.9 mi) from the Irish Sea and provided a port for shipping until its closure in 1981.[1] Most of the historic buildings and facilities have since been demolished and the area is now mainly commercial and residential property, along with some light industry. Following the dock's closure, a public marina was opened in 1987.[2]
