The historic covered Taylor's Dry Dock at Chester Tower Wharf is tricky to photograph due to the fine mesh safety fence which surrounds it. There is just one gap in the fence which is big enough to put a camera lens through. Here we see the narrow boat SOUTHERN CROSS undergoing maintenance work.
This historic nature of the site is recognised by a Transport Trust Red Plaque.

A narrow boat is seen entering the final lock on the River Dee Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal.
The Dee Branch provides a link from Tower Wharf to the tidal River Dee.
However, only the section of canal below the first lock is currently only and is used mainly for its berths. The final section to the River Dee remains closed.
There appears to be the intention to reopen the section leading into the River when a lock on the Dee has been constructed at the Dee Weir.
