Clarence Dock was built in 1830 and filled in in the 1920s. However the Graving Dock still remains and is in use. It is unusual in that it is hewn from the underlying rock. In the background is the imposing Victoria Clock Tower or "Dockers' Clock". Despite being a grade II listed building, its owners, Peel Holdings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_Holdings , have allowed it to fall into a state of grievous disrepair.
