The basin surface covered 〔, available at (Google Books )〕 and was surrounded by George's Dock to the south, Princes Dock to the north and the Mersey to the west. Used as a berth for commercial shipping and as a dry dock for vessel repairs, the mouth of the basin was sealable with floodgates.〔, available at (Google Books )〕 In 1899 the basin and the adjoining George's Dock were filled in to create what is now the Pier Head, to provide one central place for Liverpool Docks' offices, which before were scattered across different sites. By March 2009 work was completed on a £22 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal on the site of the former basin. The canal extension provides a further 1.4 miles of navigable waterway. ==References==
