Richmond Dock, Northam - Torridge

Dry dock, 1856. It is said to have been the largest dry dock in the Bristol Channel at the time it was built. The dock is now vacant. The gates are in poor condition, but the site has been cleared of some of the items stored there. The site has been sold and the new owner is exploring options for the storage of a small number of historic boats in the dock.
