Prince’s Dock was part of the port in the 19th century. It may have been named after Prince Albert, who married Queen Victoria in 1840. It is first mentioned in 1841 and was incorporated into York Dock in 1901. Prince’s Dock was also an address, a street-name effectively. Street was added to the name in the mid-20th century. St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, founded in 1872 and deconsecrated in 2000, is situated on this street. It now houses Sailortown Regeneration and functions as an arts and community centre for the neighbourhood.
