Boundary wall from Waterloo to Stanley Dock

Dock Boundary Wall from Waterloo Dock to Stanley Dock and Gate Piers
1836-41


The Gate Piers are Grade II and as the wall is attached to them it is also effectively listed.

This part of the dock wall is similar in appearance and materials to that further south, but it was built fifteen to twenty years later. It has been reduced in height in front of the Waterloo Warehouse where a section is missing, removed to facilitate access to Riverside Station. Other breaches have subsequently been made to provide access to the dock estate.

The North Gate to Docks 28-31 Victoria, Princes and Waterloo, The Gate to Victoria and Trafalgar Docks and the Gate to Clarence Dock and the Gate to Clarence and Clarence Graving Dock are all built by Hartley in buff sandstone in classical style established by Foster. They are square in plan and have pitted rusticated bases, which chamfer to battered ashlar shafts and have gabled caps with acroteria. All have lost their original gates.
