NS 595 666 On behalf of British Waterways, and at the request of Historic Scotland, repair work undertaken between 10 October-23 November 2006 on the Pinkston Basin in the Port Dundas complex was monitored. This repair work included repointing stonework, replacement of coping stones, and dewatering of the basin. Some evidence of the development of the Basin complex after 1836 with the addition of the Timber Basin after 1842 and alterations to the adjacent canal walls was noted. Further evidence of wharf infrastructure associated with coking during the later-19th century and with the Pinkston Power Station of 1900-01 was also recorded.
