Covered Ship Building Berth

A covered shipbuilding berth constructed by T&W Smith in the 1850s (covered building berths meant that a higher Lloyd's vessel classification could be achieved) one of three owned by them at the Limekiln Shore Yard. The berth was of timber with extensive glass panelling. Removed in the period between 1865-1899 during extensive developments on the Limekiln Shore, so that nothing of it remains.
