Het verhaal
If there’s one must-see while you’re in Liverpool, it’s the Royal Albert Dock. A mere stroll from the city centre, this monumental warehouse complex used to welcome sailing ships laden with cargo. Nowadays, the World Heritage waterfront is a major tourist attraction. It’s collection of Grade I Listed buildings, the largest in the country, house shops, bars and restaurants – not to mention world-class museums like The International Slavery Museum, Tate Liverpool and The Beatles Story.
Opened in 1846, Albert Dock was the world’s first fireproof dock system warehouse attracting cargo ships from all over. More secure than other docks, it became a key place to store precious cargo like cotton, tea, silk and tobacco. But this success didn’t last. Within 20 years of opening, it started to decline and by the 1970’s, finally closed. In 1982, plans began to restore the structure to its former glory. Warehouses were renovated and a few years later, the Maritime Museum and The Beatles Story arrived.
