I can just see George Formby in that hydraulic platform singing "When I'm cleaning windows".

This is where the new canal link will be heading to and from the 4 lock area

The rest of the Pier Head/canal section is open to the public (the part in front of the Liver Buildings). It's just a large, empty space at the moment.

At last the water has been returned to the Princes Dock after completion of the canal link to the pierhead

Some of the gates of the canal link in the dock

The channel where the narrow boats will enter the Princes Dock on their way to the Stanley dock

I'm confused by the last photo. I'd assumed that the lock was to lower boats down from Princes Dock to go under the road/Isle of Man ferry check in area and then across the Pier Head (and then up again in another lock to get up to the Canning Dock level). The last photo looks as if it brings the boats UP from the Princes Dock level, or am I looking at it wrong?

You are correct Sean with your orriginal assumption.

I had taken a look at the lock a few weeks ago the lock does lower boats to pass under the road and IoMSPCo check in.

The canal link as it leaves the East Waterloo dock. Last year the dock became a little wildlife haven with it`s little isletsfor the geese and oyster catchers to have their offspring but yesterday there was a bulldozer flattening the bottom of the dock.

The link towards the Stanley dock and the locks has a bit of water in it now

Is It possible to reflect the clock tower In the canal water from any angles?

The Collingwood Dock is about the only place you will get a decent reflection
