In March 1818, permission was obtained from the Grand Junction Canal Company by a Mr John Mills for a dock to be built to service Yiewsley’s brickmaking industry. Otter Dock would be the longest of nine arms and docks that served Yiewsley's industries. It was opened in 1820 and after several expansions extended 1,200 yards north from the mainline of the canal. With the inclusion of the arms within Otter dock, its total length was 1845 yards .
Brick-earth was moulded and fired in Yiewsley’s brick-fields with the finished bricks being transported via the Otter Dock and the Grand Junction Canal Paddington Arm to the South Wharf in the Paddington Basin and to wharves situated along the Regent's Canal. The bricks were then used in the construction of 19th-century London.
