  Albert Dock
The Albert Dock was opened in 1846 by Prince Albert, after whom it is named. It was designed by Jesse Hartley, a Yorkshire engineer who was appointed Surveyor of Liverpool Docks in 1824. The entire Albert Dock complex stretches for seven acres and warehouses were used to store tea, silk, tobacco and spirits from the Far East. The complex was registered in 1952 as the largest group of Grade 1 Listed buildings in Britain but this did not stop it falling into a state of near dereliction before being finally closed in 1972. Following the Toxteth riots in 1981 Liverpool underwent a dramatic regeneration, with inner-city development projects bringing government support and funding to the city.
