About Inner Dock
The National Inventory rates Inner Dock Regional, one of 116 in East Wall. Inner Dock dates from 1820–1825. 50 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This stone-built dock was designed by John Rennie who also designed the Tobacco Warehouse (50010003) and several dock structures in London. Named after George IV, who travelled to Ireland in 1821 to officially open the dock, he failed to turn up and was instead opened by Lord Castlecoote.

Questions about Inner Dock
Is Inner Dock on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50010007).
Can you visit Inner Dock?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Inner Dock built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1820–1825.
Is Inner Dock protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
