Remarkable overview of the history of the Southampton Docks, from
it's earliest to most recent developments, to explore what has made
it the enormous industrial estate it is today. It is aided by
fascinating early maps and photographs to illustrate the magnitude
of the changes made to the docks through time. To most Southampton
citizens, and indeed many visitors, the view of the Docks on its
doorstep is a familiar sight witnessed daily without much of a
second thought - as if it has always been there. Countless books
have been written about the docks and many have referred to various
stages of its development, but few have told the fuller story of
its evolution from a couple of small basins clawed from the mud to
the enormous industrial estate it is today. This book, with the aid
of early maps and photographs, explores and illustrates the various
stages of the docks growth and progress under an array of owners
over the passage of time. It explores everything from how it was
built from the earliest days of its commencement under the
ownership of the Southampton Dock Company, to its final expansion
to Redbridge in 1996 under private owners Associated British Ports,
bringing the story up to date.
