There are some here.

This one is the Pier Master's office I think...

And this is a chest found inside...

These buildings would've been very new back then.

Hi pasha

The buildings are still there. But both the Pier Master's office and the Victoria clock tower are badly in need of restoration and some loving care which they should get as they are important buildings architecturally. They may not get such restoration any time soon though simply because they are not in the city centre where their rehabilitation would be more of a priority.

I think all the boats have now been removed from this dock to make way for the new canal route.
