A moment for quiet contemplation, Gloucester Docks.
Two characters whiling away the morning on a bench with the Mariners' Chapel behind. In fact the docks were thronged. The photograph was taken from the National Waterways Museum and the aft steam winch of No. 4 Dredger is in the foreground.

Former tramroad
Plaque on the left pillar gives the following information:
'The Gloucester and Cheltenham Tramroad (1811 - 1861).
Through this gateway, the nine mile long tramroad entered the docks. Wagons carrying goods and minerals were pulled by horses along cast-iron rails having a gauge of 3ft.6in. (1.1m) It was the first railway in the county authorised by Act of Parliament. The steam locomotive Royal William was tried in 1831 or 1832 but its weight broke the rails.'

Barge Arm, Gloucester Docks
The Barge Arm has always been used for barges and narrowboats to keep them out of the way of large ships in the main basin. 'Amber' is present - at first glance a normal cruising narrowboat, but actually operating as a floating cafe.
