Title: Building the cutting between Albion Dock and the new Canada Dock.
Description: The second half of the 19th century saw London's dock system double in size. The port's seemingly limitless growth as the world's main trade centre resulted in the upgrading and re-building of the existing docks and the construction of new facilities such as the Canada Dock, which was completed in 1876. The cutting shown above connected it to the Albion Dock to the south.
