A year before the opening of the world's first commercial wet dock,(Submitted on October 11, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)a 1715 Act of Parliament (1 Geo. 1. St. 2. c. 21) was passed to demolish the castle and build a church in its place. Construction of St George's church began on the site of the old castle and the church was consecrated in 1734. By 1825, the church had been pulled down and a new one built in its place. In 1899, the church was demolished and the Victoria Monument was erected in 1902.
