This sculpture, unveiled by artist Mor in 2010, takes on the broad shape of a nine digit, representing the dock on which it rests. Local people assisted with the project, helping to decide on the sculpture's final shape and providing the quotes that are engraved into its surface.
Home to the passenger and shipping company Manchester Liners, Nine Dock was one of the busiest, biggest and most important of the Salford Docks. The dock was over half a mile in length and, amazingly, was large enough to hold up to ten container ships.
