Glasson Dock, Lancashire.
Due to the silting of the River Lune, ships found it very difficult to navigate up to the Lancaster Quays. In 1779 the Port Commission decided to build a wet dock on the fields and marshland that covered the Glasson area at that time and soon tobacco, rum, cotton and even slaves were arriving from The West Indies. A railway connection to the quay was made in 1883 but was closed in 1964.
