      Listed in White's Directory of 1840, "professions and trades", JOINERS & BUILDERS, "•Grassby Richard, West end Old dock".

      The Old Dock
      The first dock in Hull was built built between 1775 and 1778 to a design by Henry Berry, the work being finished by the engineer John Grundy. The dock was called The Dock until the construction of further docks, whence it was called The Old Dock; it was officially named the Queen's Dock in 1855.
      The dock entrance was on the river Hull just south of North Bridge, and the dock itself built along the path of the North Wall (west-south-west) as far as the Beverley Gate. Some of the work proved inadequate, requiring reconstruction later. The dock walls were of local brick, whilst cement for its construction was rendered waterproof through the use of pozzolana imported from Italy. At the entrance to the dock a double drawbridge, counterbalanced for ease of use, of the Dutch type allowed people to cross the lock.
      The dock was 1,703 ft (519 m) long, 254 ft (77 m) wide, and the lock 121 ft (37 m) long and 38 ft (12 m) wide, with the depth of water being between 15 ft (4.6 m) and 20 ft (6.1 m) depending on the tide.
      The dock closed in 1930 and was sold to the Corporation for £100,000; subsequently it was infilled and converted to an ornamental gardens known as Queen's Gardens.
