Why does everyone get so misty eyed over old docks?
All they are are large holes surrounded by retaining walls to keep in water.
I think too many people look back with rose tinted spectacles at the days of shipping - I worked on the docks for years and it was hard graft in a filthy environment for bog standard wages.
They won't find any dinosaurs buried there or anything else of real interest - just the detritus of an dirty industry.
