| Description | Letter to John Gibb Esq, Civil Engineer: "Dear Sir, the contractor for the Tide Lock having begun to lay down materials therefore, it will be necessary that the enclosure formed by the Harbour Trustees next the canal be removed as it covers the only space, almost, which can be appropriated for the stance of materials. I hope this will be easily, and without inconvenience, affected- indeed if the (?) wooden huts be of no futher use to the Harbour Trustees I daresay the contract will take them off their lands on (?) terms. I am dear Sir, yours truly, Alexander Jopp." |
