Hello
Does anyone know where “The Dock” is In Alrewas. My father and his sister were born there in the 1920’s. I’m researching my paternal family name of Neal.
I should be so grateful if anyone has any information that will help me in my quest.
Kind regards
Forever Brummie
 
There are several mentions of The Dock, Alrewas. Not a pub, seems to be near School Lane in one advert.
 
I have some aerial pictures of Alrewas , mostly of the gas AGI I take a look at them and if any show the area in general I will post
 
Hello Morturn,
Post #66Nov 14, 2022 - Gas Holders in Birmingham gives a picture and some information, it was Coleshill
 
The Dock was a road in Alrewas that led to Church Lane and the canal bridge over the Trent & Mersey Canal as this 1901 edition of the Ordnance Survey shows

Pictures of the Gas AGI, you can see the village on the top left of the first picture, they do not show a lot of the village if you click on enlarge the picture gives a better view.

I am told this picture relates to the dock at Arlewas, (by one of the local ex-gas employee at the AGI) I cannot verify this is accurate information.
