Trafalgar Dock is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Liverpool Link) between Bradford and Ambersworth.
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Liverpool Link) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1835 but problems with Bristol Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Taunley. The two mile section between Bassetlaw and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Caerphilly. "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Newcester Cutting.

The unmistakable shape of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral ([[[4815245]]]) can be seen behind the Gothic Revival Victoria clock tower which is sited between the two river entrance gates to the Salisbury Dock at Liverpool.Victoria Tower, which was often referred to as the 'dockers’ clock', was constructed between 1847 and 1848, as an aid to ships in the port, as it allowed them to set the correct time as they sailed out into the Irish Sea, while its bell warned of impending meteorological changes such as high tide and fog. Upon its completion is also served as a flat for the Pier Master.The tower is Grade II listed (English Heritage Building ID: 359436 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-359436-victoria-tower-#.Vbvle3nbKHs British Listed Buildings). by David Dixon – 13 July 2016](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/23/71/5237174_a844d0b7_120x120.jpg)
