Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dock like this:

DOCK, a suburb of Llanelly, in Carmarthen; at the mouth of the river Llougher, and on the Llanelly and Dock railway, ¾ of a mile SW of Llanelly. It has a station on the railway with telegraph, and a post office‡ under Llanelly. An extensive dock is here, and floating basin, with 24 feet water; and the fair way to it is protected by a breakwater.

This is the only descriptive gazetter entry we have found, but you may be able to find further references to Dock by doing a full-text search here.
