summary | The Dock Extension Committee, responsible for constructing the Albert Dock, considered various options including rerouting a railway but it was deemed impossible due to geographic constraints. A potential bridge solution would require frequent openings and obtaining cooperation from the railway company. Queen Victoria granted permission to use the name "Albert" and add "Royal" to both Victoria and Albert Docks. The opening of the Victoria Dock was uneventful, but the Royal Albert Dock's inauguration was a different story as reported in a 1907 newspaper article. |
