No. 4 Slip, The Historic Dockyard
January 16, 2011
The interior of No.4 Covered Slip, the Historic Dockyard (1847). Slips 4, 5 and 6 are identical, with slender cast iron frames and corrugated iron roof sheeting. These roofs are important landmarks in the history of iron and steel structures, and pre-date the great Victorian train shed roofs of Paddington and King’s Cross.
