Stanlow Oil Docks
Address is taken from a point 277 yards away.
Stanlow Oil Docks is on the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line).
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.

Tranmere Oil Terminal is situated on the River Mersey, 1.5 mi (2.4 km) south of Birkenhead. It was opened on 8 June 1960 to handle vessels of up to 65,000 tons, at two berths (North and South). It is connected to the Stanlow Oil Refinery by a 15 mi (24 km) pipeline. Part of the terminal occupies the site of a former ferry service to Liverpool, with the extant pier considerably modified.
