Salterhebble, Halifax Arm, Dry dock and basin. - Halifax

The original terminus of the Salterhebble branch of the Calder and Hebble Canal was altered to the present configuration and the dry dock added when the canal was extended to Halifax in 1828. Buildings around the wharf included a large warehouse, a shade and storehouse for the use of the Navigation's carpenters, coal staiths, two dwellinghouse, one for the clerk, and sundry maintenance buildings. Several buildings survived in a derelict state until the mid 1980s, but were demolished to make way for hotel bedrooms. The features which survive today are the dry dock of 1828 and Calder House, which may have been the clerk's house of 1787 or a later building of 1794. Photo. April 1984.

Date 15 April 1984
