Default ARCHIVE - Stanley Dock warehouse, mersey tunnel 07/08 - 01-08-2008, 14:19

went up to liverpool a few hours before the mersey tunnel meet to have a look around and see what was around, found the stanly dock warehouse, its accross the dock from the tobacco warehouse, here's a bit about the place

The Stanley Dock warehouse designed by Jesse Hartley was built in 1848. The dock itself links to the Liverpool and Leeds Canal. It also stands apart from all the other Docks in that it was built on the landside of the dock road. The original warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II listed buildings. Part of the northern warehouse was demolished after sustaining damage in an air raid during the Second World War.

plans have been unveiled for the warehouses to be redeveloped into office space and a total of 930 apartments. The plans involve digging out the centre of the tobacco warehouse to create a garden-filled courtyard.

access was easy enougth, spent about 30 mins wandering about and here is the pics!
