Introduction

Albert Dock opened in 1846 to designs by Jesse Hartley — the first structure in Britain built with cast iron, brick and stone rather than wood, pioneering fireproof warehousing. Today its former warehouses hold museums, galleries and dining; with The Beatles Story, it is the liveliest cultural living room of Liverpool's waterfront.
