1928
The days when a vast multitude of things came and went have been and gone.
The docks as they were are no more.
Yet in 2023, the Port of Liverpool was the UK’s fourth busiest container port, handling over 30 million tonnes of freight per annum. It handles a wide variety of cargo, including containers, bulk cargoes such as coal, grain and animal feed, and roll-on/roll-off cargoes such as cars, trucks and recycled metals. The port is also home to one of the largest cruise terminals in the UK which handles approximately 200,000 passengers and over 100 cruise ships each year.
Now with the opening of the Titanic Hotel in the Stanley Dock and the arrival of the Toffees just up the road at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the whole area is slowly being transformed into a destination, as they say in modern parlance.
However much of the Industrial heritage remains in various states of disarray, used and possibly disabused, but hanging on in there.
It looks like this.
Modern Mooch 
Excellent photos, and a place well worth recording. One day all this will be swept away. I particularly like the Victorian warehouse with its gabled end, and its typical external hoist and doors. One of these will feature on my model railway: transposed to east Manchester! All the best Andrew

Great stuff Steve, love the sugar silo and glad to see it has been listed. Did your Glasgow West End mooch in the Modernist app yesterday and it was fantastic.
