The home of Liverpool Accountants
The Liverpool Accountants docks are central to Liverpool's
history, with the best-known being Albert Dock: the first
enclosed, non-combustible dock warehouse system in the world
and is built in cast iron, brick and stone. It was designed
by Jesse Hartley.
Restored in the 1980s, the Albert Dock has the largest collection
of Grade I listed buildings in Britain. Part of the old dock
complex is now the home to the Merseyside Maritime Museum
(an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial
Heritage), the International Slavery Museum and the Tate Liverpool.
Liverpool Accountants Other relics of the dock system include
the Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse, which at the time of its
construction in 1901, was the world's largest building in
terms of area, and is still the world's largest brick-work
building.
Also the ill-fated passenger liner RMS Titanic was registered
in Liverpool.
