Salisbury (1848)

Salisbury was a half-tide dock, designed as the entrance for Collingwood, Stanley and Nelson docks. By the 1950s this dock was the Liverpool centre for coastal and barge traffic.

can any one help me with the history of the barges. I had a relative who was master flatman on a barge 1881- 1901, docks mentioned Nelson & Huskisson, can any one throw any light on what they used to carry . Anything at all really to do with this subject.

Thanks guys
