In 1958, remedial work began on the lock entrance to Portishead Dock for the Port of Bristol Authority. The lock entrance had been damaged by scour and wave action and needed to be removed and renewed, and the existing walls underpinned. At the same time, work was underway on the final third of Portishead B Power Station
