Victoria Dock, opened in 1850, was the first dock to be built to the east of the River Hull. A year after it opened, the Earle Brothers started their shipyard here. From 1853 to 1931, over 700 ships were made in their yard. In 1970, industry stopped at the docks and they were abandoned until 1987. Now, it is a bustling dock village with a private school and various shops. You can learn more about the story by following the sign-posted Victoria Dock Trail.
