Preston Dock
Eastern end
Mariners Way, Preston, PR2 2DW, United Kingdom
Preston Dock is on the River Ribble (Preston Dock Branch).
The River Ribble (Preston Dock Branch) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1835. In 1888 the Bradford and Leicester Canal built a branch to join at Oldham. According to Henry Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Runcorn Aqueduct is haunted by the ghost of John Smith, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

Wikipedia has a page about Preston Dock
Preston Dock is a former maritime dock on the northern bank of the River Ribble, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) west of Preston, Lancashire, England. The Albert Edward Basin opened in 1892 and is connected to the river by a series of locks.
The dock is 25.6 km (15.9 mi) from the Irish Sea and provided a port for shipping until its closure in 1981. Most of the historic buildings and facilities have since been demolished and the area is now mainly commercial and residential property, along with some light industry. Following the dock's closure, a public marina opened in 1987.
