Salted Cod

For Sale at the Port of Lancaster Smoke House, Glasson Dock, Lancashire.

 

Glasson Dock, also known as Glasson, is a village in Lancashire, England, south of Lancaster at the mouth of the River Lune.

Glasson was originally a small farming and fishing community.

 

In 1779, the Lancaster Port Commission decided to build a dock at Glasson because of the difficulties of navigating up the River Lune to the port at Lancaster. Construction was finished by March 1787, when the dock opened and could hold up to 25 merchant ships.

 

Salted Cod has been a mainstay of European trade and cuisine for many centuries.
