Looking across the northwestern corner of Victoria Dock http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6095169 towards Victoria Warehouse, one of the restored warehouses on the quay between Victoria Dock and the Main Basin http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6095320 of Gloucester Docks. The building extending to the right from Victoria Warehouse is Herbert Warehouse, adjacent to the main basin. The building on the left is part of Britannia Warehouse. Victoria Warehouse was built in 1849 (when Victoria Dock opened) to store imported corn. There were several corn mills http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6093477 in and around the docks. The warehouse was used as a corn store with some interruptions until 1989. These days, the building is used by the National Health Service for office space.
