just been doing a bit of research ... it seems that Mikes Boatyard has applied for permission to instal a large floating drydock but I can't see anything about it in use.
A lot will depend on if the Cocklers wanted it, if they did then it will happen as they are a law unto themselves.
The drydock I was in (at the time the only drydock in the area) was at Johnson and Jagos's yard a few hundred yards down the road nearer the railway station
I've just been studying the satellite vviews of Leigh and I can't see anything that looks like a 40 metre drydock or anything big enough to be a floating drydock of that size
