Dock Master's Office  
British Waterways (Bridgwater)
​

The development of the Bridgwater docks area as a leisure based marina has prompted the need for a new operational control building to manage the complicated local interchange system. It's primary function is to provide the Dockmaster with a panoramic vantage point from which to manage and control the movement of water-bourne traffic in the docks, lock systems and canal. A Ship's Chandlers' shop is situated on the ground floor.
