Gloucester Docks, is one of the most significant inland ports in the United Kingdom. Its construction began in 1793 and was completed in 1827, under the supervision of engineer William Telford.
Gloucester Docks played an essential role during the two World Wars as a strategic port for the transportation of troops, weapons, and supplies.
