The wet dock was to be some 475 yards (434 m) by 140 yards (130 m) with a lock from the river of 200 by 50 feet (61 by 15 m). The length of the quayside was to be 1,250 yards (1,140 m) with a long timber jetty on the east side. On the west side was to be a coal jetty, equipped with a hydraulic lift to raise coal trucks to tip their loads into ships waiting beneath. </p><p>The dock gates weighed 35 tons each and 1.5 million bricks were used in constructing the dock entrance. An area of 13 acres (5.3 ha) was taken up by the dock itself and 600,000 cubic yards (460,000 m<sup>3</sup>) of soil were excavated. The first sod was cut on 1 January 1878 and 100 men, 50 horses and carts, 1 steam dredger and several barges were involved in the work. </p><p>The work was completed and the first ship to enter the dock (SS <i>Garland</i>) did so on 14 May 1881, carrying 1200 tons of cargo destined for Messrs English of Wisbech. The excitement was spoilt somewhat as the dock entrance had not been dredged to a sufficient depth and the ship had to unload some of her cargo before entering the dock. However, towed by the tugs, <i>Pendennis</i> and <i>the Isle of Ely</i>, she floated into the dock. In the following week, four other ships used the dock. </p><p>The official opening was planned for 29 June with great public festivities, however on 9 June part of the ground at the south west corner of the lock sank 10 feet (3.0 m), leaving the concrete facing unsupported. At the same time, a strip of earth at the back of the lock on the north side sank, carrying with it, two steam <a href="/wiki/Traction_engine" title="Traction engine">traction engines</a> which had been used for pumping. They were buried 10 feet (3.0 m) deep in the silt. Frantic efforts were made to repair the damage. Trainloads of sand, silt, rubble, clay and limestone were poured into the gaps to no avail. On the following Tuesday 500 feet (150 m) of concrete facing on the opposite, west side of the dock itself were dislodged because the footings had been scoured away. On Wednesday, many more yards of the concrete cracked and subsided. All three ships which had been in the dock had got away safely with some difficulty. The great weight of concrete laid on shifting silt, together with inadequate <a href="/wiki/Timber_piling" class="mw-redirect" title="Timber piling">timber piling</a> would appear to have led to the collapse. Efforts to save the dock were soon seen to be futile and the plan was abandoned.

When the current bridge was constructed it was hoped that the 1850 bridge could be left in position for rail use but the river authorities decided that two bridges so close together constituted a
