dock10 is built on the site of the former Manchester Ship Canal docks.
Construction of the Manchester Ship Canal began in November 1887, and it was dug largely by hand over the next six years. The canal was officially opened by Queen Victoria in May 1894.
Construction of dock10 began in 2007, and it was ready to go on air in January 2011. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, in March 2012.
Our name, dock10, comes from the site plan drawn over 100 years ago that proudly states, "SITE OF FUTURE DOCK NO. 10".
It may not be the shipping dock originally envisioned, but we are proud to call ourselves dock10.
