Royal Albert Dock

Why go

The Royal Albert Dock is the dock on Liverpool's waterfront with five blocks of five-storey warehouses; the dock's own history page says it opened in 1846, that it was awarded Grade I listed status in 1952, and that it was regenerated from the 1980s after the South Docks complex was shut in 1972. The same page says Gower Street Estates took over administration of the dock in 1998. Its see-and-do page lists the Maritime Museum, the International Slavery Museum, Tate Liverpool and The Beatles Story among the attractions at the dock, and notes that Tate Liverpool has temporarily moved while its dockside gallery is redeveloped; those venues are separate places. The dock's site gives its address as Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AF. This record is the dock complex, not the Royal Albert Dock in London.
