Chester Basin was a tidal basin on the River Mersey, in Liverpool, England. The basin was situated between the Pier Head and Manchester Dock. HistoryThe basin was built between 1785 and 1795,[1] opening in 1795 as the Chester and Ellesmere Basin, and was {{convert|2568|sqyd|m2|abbr=on}} in area.[2] The basin was used by canal boats which had entered the river at Ellesmere Port, as well as other small craft on the Mersey,[2] and was owned by the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company.[3] The basin was filled in between 1928–36, with some of the spoil excavated during the construction of the Queensway Tunnel.[2] In 2007, during the construction of the Liverpool Canal Link, the site was excavated. The excavation revealed various carved stones, which were identified as being from the Liverpool Town Hall of 1673.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://library.thehumanjourney.net/2388/1/9908%20Ferry%20Terminal%20compled%20rep%20reduced.pdf|title=Ferry Terminal Pierhead, Liverpool, Merseyside - Archaeological Evaluation Report|pages=9, 29|work=Oxford Archaeology North|date=February 2008|accessdate=5 September 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{harvnb|McCarron|Jarvis|1992|pp=25–26}} 3. ^{{harvnb|Jarvis|1988|p=24}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/ll/liverpool-link12.htm|title=Liverpool Canal Link, May 2007 - page 2|work=Pennine Waterways|accessdate=5 September 2016|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010140847/http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/ll/liverpool-link12.htm|archivedate=10 October 2007|df=dmy-all}} Sources
