As a tribute to all the hard working men and women who have been at the beating heart of Gloucester Docks, loading and unloading ships over the centuries, whose cargoes were transferred direct to narrow boats which could then carry the goods up the river and through the inland canals to the industrial towns and cities of the Midlands. Early important imports included corn from Ireland, Timber from the Baltic and North America, Wines & Spirits from Portugal and France, ………for returning ships their holds were not empty, quite the contrary, they were full of SALT, Worcestershire’s most famous export! Raise a glass of our Session Bitter and toast the toil of dock workers throughout the centuries.
