Stothert and Pitt Cranes on Prince's Wharf, Bristol

  • NHLE List Name: Cranes and rails on Prince's Wharf

  • Travel Genus: Sight
  • Sight Category: Structure

The four Stothert & Pitt Cranes on Prince's Wharf are Grade II listed for their architectural and historic significance. Designed as working cargo-handling machinery, they possess a striking industrial character and have become prominent landmarks within Bristol's Floating Harbour. Together they form one of the largest surviving groups of historic dockside cranes in England and remain notable examples of their type. Their significance is enhanced by their rarity as the only known group of Stothert & Pitt travelling cranes still in working order, reflecting the vital role of Bristol's docks in the city's commercial prosperity and the international reputation of the Bath engineering firm that produced them. - AsNotedIn
