Comments (2007)
This site has one <strong>of</strong> the few purpose built graving docks on the River Thames. It is
drained by means <strong>of</strong> a 36” pipe that passes through the gardens <strong>of</strong> the adjoining
houses to discharge into the Molesey Lock weir stream. The dry dock has not been
used since before the last study. The site has been sold for development. A planning
application has been submitted to LB Richmond for a restaurant, residential
development and retention <strong>of</strong> the dry dock.
