Royal Albert Docks, Liverpool Photos

Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock warehouse (1846) built entirely of iron, brick & stone to be fireproof, thus becoming a dock of choice for high value cargo like silks, cotton, ivory, tea, tobacco, & sugar. The Docks allowed sailing ships to offload directly into these warehouses for further security, but steamships became too big to enter the protected basin. Royal Albert Docks were partly bombed in WWII & did not start recovering until 1988 when museums & restaurants moved in. They are now a top tourist attraction just opposite the Pier Head docks.
