Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CW6M7D - The cost of most peak time train tickets in Scotland is set to increase by 1.6% from January next year.
The move would see the price of an Edinburgh to Glasgow season ticket go up £67 to £4,267.
However, Transport Scotland said it is in the process of considering the options regarding future fares and tickets in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
This means next year's price increase could be paused.
Rail fares usually increase every January but the hike is linked to the previous July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation.
The Office for National Statistics has announced the RPI rate for July was 1.6%.
Rail fares to rise despite passenger slump
This means tickets, such as standard day return tickets in the Edinburgh commuter area or all fares in the Strathclyde area, would increase by 1.6% in January.
Off-peak regulated fares are capped at 1% below RPI so would go up by 0.6%.
There has been speculation that the UK's national and devolved governments could seek to delay the 2021 rise given the effects of coronavirus and record-low passenger numbers.
Passenger watchdog Transport Focus has called for a major shake-up of rail fares to encourage passengers back to the railways following the collapse in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Chief executive Anthony Smith said a system that fits the way we live and travel now is needed, including flexible season tickets, carnet-style tickets and better value for money fares across the board.
'Considering the options'
A Transport Scotland spokesman said it was considering the options for future fares and tickets as part of wider recovery work in the rail industry in the wake of the pandemic.
He added: The Scottish government is committed to ensuring that rail fares are affordable for passengers and taxpayers across Scotland.
We have taken action to keep fares down and ScotRail fare are still on average, 20% cheaper than those across the rest of the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ5NC - The TARDIS (UK /ˈtɑːdɪs/
US /ˈtɑːrdɪs/
Time And Relative Dimension In Space) is a fictional time machine and spacecraft that appears in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who and its various spin-offs.
A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilisation to which the programme's central character, the Doctor, belongs. A properly maintained and piloted TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in time and space. The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior. It can blend in with its surroundings using the ship's chameleon circuit. TARDISes also possess a degree of sapience and provide their users with additional tools and abilities including a universal translation system based on telepathy.
In the series, the Doctor pilots an apparently unreliable, obsolete TARDIS
in the episode Let's Kill Hitler (2011), it is designated TT Type 40, Mark 3. Its chameleon circuit is broken, leaving it stuck in the shape of a 1960s-style London police box after a visit to London in 1963. The Doctor's TARDIS was for most of the series' history said to have been stolen from the Time Lords' home planet, Gallifrey, where it was old, decommissioned and derelict.
The unpredictability of the TARDIS' short-range guidance (relative to the size of the Universe) has often been a plot point in the Doctor's travels. In The Doctor's Wife, the TARDIS reveals that much of this unpredictability was actually intentional on its part in order to get the Doctor where he needed to go as opposed to where he wanted to go.
Doctor Who has become so much a part of British popular culture that the shape of the police box become more immediately associated with the TARDIS than with its real-world inspiration. The name TARDIS is a registered trademark of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM2H - . Photographed at the recorded location in 2016, this detailed documentary image records the subject within its real surroundings and preserves a specific stage in the life of the location. At the centre of the view is Scottish provincial institution building, Glasgow city centre, Scotland. The subject also carries associations with street-level symbolism, place identity, architectural detail, flag culture, historic streetscape, civic identity, public realm, before-and-after reference, cityscape history, period detail, conservation architecture, public expression of identity, English identity, and changing streetscape. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with political symbolism, community cohesion and the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space. The modern context includes continuing discussion of redevelopment pressure, planning control and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change. Small period details of landscape treatment and surrounding development at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following later reinterpretation. The subject also sits alongside patriotic symbolism, national symbolism, national emblem, heritage landmark, heritage asset, local history, historical comparison, and St George's Cross. The recorded references to Glasgow, centre, provincial, building, and institution preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The image also provides a reference for political symbolism and the distinction between everyday patriotism and more contentious uses of national imagery when considered against later change at the recorded location. It also preserves evidence of earlier appearance for later comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM2R - . An on-location photograph from Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE in 2016, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The main point of reference is Scottish Indy Yes Bar,Glasgow,Scotland,UK - Vote Yes to a 2nd UK referendum. The subject also carries associations with everyday life, conservation architecture, architectural character, changing streetscape, period building, changing land use, before-and-after reference, local character, period detail, heritage asset, contemporary social history, adaptive reuse, archival record, and community identity. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with tourism, energy retrofit and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character. For later comparison, the photograph preserves period objects and surrounding context at Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE, details that may look very different after new ownership. The photograph additionally reflects architectural detail, heritage landmark, documentary photography, historic townscape, historic streetscape, urban fabric, conservation interest, and built heritage. References to Scottish, referendum, Glasgow, and Scotland give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. By fixing the subject within Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Another useful connection is tourism and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility in a form that can be compared with future views of Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE. The scene further reflects planning control and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility within the real-world context of Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM3C - . Recorded at the recorded location in 2016, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The frame specifically shows St Enoch subway Underground Station, Glasgow,Scotland. Other connected aspects include transport accessibility, public transport stop, public realm, period detail, public transport information, bus route infrastructure, changing land use, community identity, historical comparison, street-side transport, bus infrastructure, documentary photography, local history, and contemporary social history. Today's relevance is strengthened by local connectivity, passenger information and the continuing question of the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport. For later comparison, the photograph preserves commercial use and occupation at the recorded location, details that may look very different after different community use. The subject also sits alongside roadside transit, surface public transport, place identity, visual archive, local mobility, changing streetscape, before-and-after reference, and roadside stop. Elements such as Enoch, Glasgow, Scotland, Underground, and subway add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The lack of a more precise address does not reduce the archival value of H9PM3C: the photographed subject, St Enoch subway Underground Station, Glasgow,Scotland, remains tied to a specific date and visual context. Another useful connection is local connectivity and the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport when considered against later change at the recorded location. The scene further reflects accessibility and the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport without losing the local specificity of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6JMRT - Aberdeen Harbour was the first publicly limited company in the United Kingdom and is today the principal commercial port in northern Scotland and an international port for general cargo, roll-on/roll-off and container traffic. The harbour also serves NorthLink Ferries, which sail to Kirkwall, Orkney and Lerwick, Shetland. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum (on Shiprow in the city centre) includes exhibitions and displays which tell the story of the harbour and its role in the economy and development of the city.
Originally, the defective harbour, with a shallow sand and gravel bar at its entrance, retarded the trade of Aberdeen, but under various acts since 1773 it was greatly deepened.
By the Harbour Act of 1868, the river Dee near the harbour was diverted from the south at a cost of £80,000, and 90 acres (364,000 m²) of new ground, in addition to 25 acres (101,000 m²) formerly made up, were provided on the north side of the river for the Albert Basin (with a graving dock), quays and warehouses. A 1050 ft (320 m) long concrete breakwater was constructed on the south side of the stream as a protection against south-easterly gales. On Girdleness, the southern point of the bay, a lighthouse was built in 1833.
The North Pier, built partly by John Smeaton 1775-81, and partly by Thomas Telford 1810-15, extends nearly 3,000 ft (1000 m) into the North Sea and raised the bar.
Victoria Dock, named in honour of the queen's visit to the city in that year, is a wet dock of 29 acres (117,000 m²) and with 6000 ft (1800 m) of quay, was completed in 1848

Another layer of the photograph includes public transport information, street-side transport, period detail, everyday life, documentary photography, community identity, visual archive, bus route infrastructure, changing land use, roadside stop, roadside transit, archival record, local history, and regional identity. The wider contemporary story combines accessibility, rural transport and the challenge of maintaining reliable services outside dense city centres. Future viewers can use this scene from Glasgow, United Kingdom to compare commercial use and occupation with whatever follows after different community use. The subject also sits alongside passenger transport, social history, historical comparison, transport accessibility, contemporary social history, bus infrastructure, local character, and changing streetscape.

The period setting at Glasgow, United Kingdom helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. Another strand within the photograph is accessibility and the challenge of maintaining reliable services outside dense city centres when considered against later change at Glasgow, United Kingdom. The setting also helps illustrate reliability and how local bus services affect access to work, education and healthcare without losing the local specificity of Glasgow, United Kingdom. The image fixes a trace of local identity as a date-specific reference. It also preserves a local visual benchmark for later comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HGC80F - Hutchesons' Hall is an early nineteenth-century building in Ingram Street, in the centre of Glasgow, Scotland. It is owned and maintained by the Rusk Company and National Trust for Scotland, and is a category A listed building.
The current building was constructed, as Hutchesons' Hospital, between 1802 and 1805 to a design by the Scottish architect David Hamilton. This building was to replace an earlier hospital of 1641 in the city's Trongate, which needed to be removed to created Hutcheson Street. Hamilton's design incorporates in its frontage statues (carved in 1649 by James Colquhoun) from this earlier hospital.
Hutcheson's Hospital was built with monies left in the will of brothers George Hutcheson (c. 1580-1639) and Thomas Hutcheson (1589-1641) for the purposes of building a hospital for the elderly and a school for poor boys. The school is still operating today, although fee-paying, as Hutchesons' Grammar School.
In 1876, the architect John Baird was commissioned to refurbish the hall. This work heightened the structure and added a feature staircase.
The building fell into disrepair and had been empty since 2008. In June 2014, having undergone a £1.4M refurbishment, it was restored by James Rusk of The Rusk Company and opened as a three flooring dining venue - Hutchesons steak and seafood house

The surrounding context encompasses navigation aid, community identity, roadside information, place identity, orientation signage, community noticeboard, transport stop marker, local information board, directional sign, local character, changing streetscape, route marker, public realm, and public-facing notice. Current relevance extends to accessibility and navigation, particularly through how small pieces of street furniture become recognisable parts of local identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GMABD3 - Marischal College is a large granite building on Broad Street in the centre of Aberdeen in north-east Scotland, and since 2011 has acted as the headquarters of Aberdeen City Council. However, the building was constructed for and is on long-term lease from the University of Aberdeen, which still uses parts of the building to house a museum and for ceremonial events. Today, it provides corporate office space and public access to council services, adjacent to the Town House, the city's historic seat of local government. Many Aberdonians consider Marischal College to be an icon of the Granite City and to symbolise the zenith of Aberdeen's granite-working industry.
The construction of the modern college building began in 1835, following the demolition of previous buildings on the site, and was completed in its present form in the early 1900s. It is the second largest granite building in the world. Formerly the seat of the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen founded in 1593, the building was retained by the unified University of Aberdeen which was created in 1860 by the merger of Marischal College and King's College. The buildings of Marischal College continued to be used for academic purposes until the mid-20th century and less and less until the early 2000s. During this period they were frequently rebuilt and expanded upon.
In the mid-to-late 20th century, teaching and academic activities at the university began to move to King's College or Foresterhill (for students of medicine) and by the early 21st century a new purpose for Marischal College was required. After a number of unsuccessful proposals, the majority of the building was leased to Aberdeen City Council to be restored and refurbished as office accommodation. The extensive renovation was completed on schedule and significantly under budget and the building opened to the public in June 2011. The university has retained the Mitchell Hall and a number of other significant parts of the building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY3RMB - Telegraph News from Nov 2016 - Abellio braces for Scotrail franchise battle as political pressure mounts
Transport operator Abellio is bracing for a battle with the Scottish Government to hold on to its Scotrail franchise as fresh data showed the number of delayed trains is increasing.
The Dutch company has admitted that its performance is not good enough but said after a scathing attack at the weekend from the Scottish Government that it would have no problem competing with a public-sector bidder for Scotrail.
Abellio won the franchise to run Scotland's train services until 2025 two years ago, but has since been fined £438,000 due to continued delays on its trains.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXGXM - . Barbers panorama, Woods Barber Shop, 12 Drummond St, Edinburgh,Scotland, UK, EH8 9TU. Photographed at 12 Drummond St, Edinburgh,Scotland, UK EH8 9TU. The photograph was taken on 31 August 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The wider composition gives a broader sense of the surroundings, showing the principal subject in relation to more of the streetscape, landscape or public space. The scene is closely associated with Woods Barber Shop, customers, Drummond St, Edinburgh, Woods Barbers, trim, cutting hair, Barbers panorama, Barbershop and Scottish, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene is relevant to retail, shopping, consumer behaviour, town and city centres, independent businesses and the changing appearance of the British high street. It can support editorial stories about shops, shopping centres, retail architecture, store branding, local commerce, vacancies, regeneration, consumer spending, tourism and the pressure on traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses. Shopfronts, signs, windows, displays, arcades and surrounding public realm provide useful visual context for how retail space is designed and experienced by pedestrians. The photograph also acts as a dated record of a business or shopping location, valuable when premises later change hands, rebrand, close or are redeveloped. Search themes include retail, shopping, shopfronts, consumer behaviour, high streets, town centres, commercial property, independent business, branding and changing local economies. A dated view of a shop or shopping environment gains extra archive value when businesses rebrand, close, move or when premises are redeveloped. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXH8Y - Today there are 28 public libraries in the Scottish capital[2] but, as the first, the creation of Central Library was funded with £50,000 from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. At the opening ceremony a telegram from Carnegie was read out stating: We trust that this Library is to grow in usefullness year after year, and prove one of the most potent agencies for the good of the people for all time to come.
The site selected for the library was the former home of Sir Thomas Hope, 1st Baronet Hope of Craighall, advocate for King Charles I. The structure, built in 1616, was demolished in March of 1887 to make way for the library. The lintel from Hope's home, bearing the carved inscription TECUM HABITA 1616 from the fourth satire of Persius, is preserved above an inner doorway of the library.
Carnegie's funding was initially an offer of £25,000 in 1886 which was doubled, overcoming prior opposition to the establishment of a public library, the citylast of those to do so in Scotlandadopted the Public Libraries Act and on 9 July 1887, Carnegie laid the foundation stone of architect George Washington Browne's French Renaissance-styled building.
Records for 1890, the first full year the library was open, show that over 440,000 book loans were issued
current records indicate that today, over a century on, the library issues over 500,000 book loans annually
In November 2017, on the 100th anniversary of her death, a memorial to Dr Elsie Inglis, the founder of the Scottish Women's Hospitals, was unveiled at Central Library

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHPD - Princes Street Gardens is a public park in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. The Gardens were created in two phases in the 1770s and 1820s following the long draining of the Nor Loch and building of the New Town, beginning in the 1760s. The loch, situated on the north side of the town, was originally an artificial creation forming part of its medieval defences and made expansion northwards difficult. The water was habitually polluted from sewage draining downhill from the Old Town. In 1846 the railway was built in the valley to connect the Edinburgh-Glasgow line at Haymarket with the new northern terminus of the North British line from Berwick-upon-Tweed at Waverley Station.
The gardens run along the south side of Princes Street and are divided by The Mound. East Princes Street Gardens run from The Mound to Waverley Bridge, and cover 8.5 acres (34,000 m2). The larger West Princes Street Gardens cover 29 acres (120,000 m2) and extend to the adjacent churches of St. John's and St. Cuthbert's, near Lothian Road in the west.
The Gardens are the best known park in Edinburgh, having the highest awareness and visitor figures for both residents and visitors to the city. Various concerts and other events are held at the Ross Bandstand including the Festival Fireworks Concert, Men's Health Survival of the Fittest, and during the city's Hogmanay celebrations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKA2 - This landmark building has been a distinctive feature of the Edinburgh skyline for more than 200 years.
It was built in 1806 as the Head Office of Bank of Scotland. Today it is also the registered office and Scottish Headquarters of Lloyds Banking Group.
In 1796, at the Bank of Scotland's 100th AGM, its directors decided to commission a purpose-built head office. It took some time to find a suitable location, due to the cramped nature of Edinburgh's Old Town. Eventually, in 1800, the site at the top of the Mound was purchased from Edinburgh Town Council. It cost £3,500. Construction started soon after, to a design by Robert Reid and Richard Crichton. These were former pupils of the celebrated architect Robert Adam. Their building was a detached Georgian-style villa, topped by a shallow saucer dome. It was completed in August 1806.
The Challenge of the Mound
Straddling Edinburgh's Old and New Towns, the site posed grave challenges for the builders. Firstly, there was a steep drop of 16 metres from front to back. A more serious issue was instability: the 'earthen Mound' (as it was known) was a man-made hill, created from the earth excavated for the New Town. The site had also been a rubbish dump in the past, and contained vast quantities of household waste!
Consequently, there was a serious risk of slippage. To overcome this, a substantial retaining wall was constructed on the north side of the building.
By the 1850s, the building was proving unsatisfactory. It was now too small for the Bank's growing business. There had also been complaints that it looked stark and ugly when viewed from Princes Street. Indeed, the famous judge Lord Cockburn described it as a 'prominent deformity'. Seeking to resolve these issues, several architects were invited to submit plans for extending and improving the building.
The directors eventually selected David Bryce. His solution was to add full-height wings to the east and west, tied back to the original building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HG6TBJ - The safety pin is a variation of the regular pin which includes a simple spring mechanism and a clasp. The clasp serves two purposes: to form a closed loop thereby properly fastening the pin to whatever it is applied to, and to cover the end of the pin to protect the user from the sharp point.
Safety pins are commonly used to fasten pieces of fabric or clothing together. Safety pins, or more usually a special version with an extra safe cover, called a nappy pin, are widely used to fasten cloth diapers (nappies), as the safety clasp, while remaining ingestion hazard, prevents the baby from being jabbed. Similarly, they can be used to patch torn or damaged clothing. Safety pins can also be used as an accessory in jewelry, like earrings, chains, and wristbands. Sometimes they are used to attach an embroidered patch. Size 3 is often used in quilting and may be labelled for purchase as a quilting pin. Size 4 and larger may be called blanket pins and deemed acceptable as kilt pins for informal dress, depending upon design and appearance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HG6TD2 - The pomegranate (/ˈpɒmᵻɡrænᵻt/), botanical name Punica granatum, is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree in the family Lythraceae that grows between 5 and 8 m (16 and 26 ft) tall.
The fruit is typically in season in the Northern Hemisphere from September to February, and in the Southern Hemisphere from March to May. As intact arils or juice, pomegranates are used in baking, cooking, juice blends, meal garnishes, smoothies, and alcoholic beverages, such as cocktails and wine.
The pomegranate originated in the region of modern-day Iran, and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region and northern India.[3] It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and California, by Spanish settlers, in 1769.
Today, it is widely cultivated throughout the Middle East and Caucasus region, north and tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the drier parts of southeast Asia, and parts of the Mediterranean Basin. It is also cultivated in parts of Arizona and California. In recent years, it has become more common in the commercial markets of Europe and the Western Hemisphere

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HGC7W6 - . An on-location photograph from the recorded location in 2009, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The main point of reference is Old lady walking down a snowy path with graffiti, Edinburgh City,Scotland. The image also relates to urban artwork, temporary artwork, local character, contemporary social history, street creativity, creative placemaking, regional identity, changing land use, documentary photography, visual archive, public art, archival record, graffiti heritage, and urban graphics. From a 2025-onward perspective, local identity and graffiti policy are closely linked to this subject, alongside how temporary street art can become an important record of neighbourhood culture. The archival value lies partly in recording local activity and public use around the recorded location before changing commercial priorities alters the character of the place. The photograph additionally reflects community identity, public-realm art, local history, visual street culture, everyday life, street-level design, before-and-after reference, and period detail. The combination of Edinburgh, snowy, walking, graffiti, and Scotland anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The setting also helps illustrate local identity and how regeneration can both promote and displace informal urban art when considered against later change at the recorded location. The image also provides a reference for local identity and the role of murals and stencils in giving creative districts a distinctive identity without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The view records details of everyday use as part of the recorded location's history.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3834522311 - 'Rare view of Cuillins from Broadford bay, Isle of Skye, Scottish Hebrides, UK.
Broadford (An t-\u00c0th Leathann in Scottish Gaelic), together with nearby Harrapool, is the second-largest settlement on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, lying on the SW corner of Broadford Bay, on the A87 between Portree and the Skye Bridge. Overlooked by the eastern Cuillins, Broadford is in a beautiful tranquil area.
West of Broadford, on the lower slopes of Beinn na Caillich, is Goir a' Bhlair, 'the field of battle'. The battle concerned was apparently a decisive action by the Gaelic Clan Mackinnon against the Vikings.
Broadford was a cattle market until 1812, when Telford built the road from Portree to Kyleakin. Its said that veterans of the Napoleonic Wars settled during the first half of the 19th century. Writing in the middle of the 19th century, Alexander Smith said, 'If Portree is the London of Skye, Broadford is its Manchester.
There is a song by the rock band Jethro Tull called 'Broadford Bazaar' (on the remastered version of the Heavy Horses album) which is named after this town.

The scene captures evidence of changing use as a date-specific reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6JMTG - Aberdeen Harbour was the first publicly limited company in the United Kingdom and is today the principal commercial port in northern Scotland and an international port for general cargo, roll-on/roll-off and container traffic. The harbour also serves NorthLink Ferries, which sail to Kirkwall, Orkney and Lerwick, Shetland. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum (on Shiprow in the city centre) includes exhibitions and displays which tell the story of the harbour and its role in the economy and development of the city.
Originally, the defective harbour, with a shallow sand and gravel bar at its entrance, retarded the trade of Aberdeen, but under various acts since 1773 it was greatly deepened.
By the Harbour Act of 1868, the river Dee near the harbour was diverted from the south at a cost of £80,000, and 90 acres (364,000 m²) of new ground, in addition to 25 acres (101,000 m²) formerly made up, were provided on the north side of the river for the Albert Basin (with a graving dock), quays and warehouses. A 1050 ft (320 m) long concrete breakwater was constructed on the south side of the stream as a protection against south-easterly gales. On Girdleness, the southern point of the bay, a lighthouse was built in 1833.
The North Pier, built partly by John Smeaton 1775-81, and partly by Thomas Telford 1810-15, extends nearly 3,000 ft (1000 m) into the North Sea and raised the bar.
Victoria Dock, named in honour of the queen's visit to the city in that year, is a wet dock of 29 acres (117,000 m²) and with 6000 ft (1800 m) of quay, was completed in 1848
