About this Event
The AGM will start at 1.30, followed at 2pm by David Roscoe's talk on the Albert Dock
David will describe the story behind the construction of the dock, including details of the buildings themselves and their innovative construction (of the time). The talk proceeds to the opening of the dock by Prince Albert in 1846, its success during the Victorian era and then to the decline and eventual abandonment of the dock, concluding with its regeneration and present-day use, including the addition of the Royal title. The talk is accompanied by a slide presentation featuring numerous drawings, maps, and photographs of the dock and its construction.
