If you have ever been shopping at Liverpool One, you may have noticed that in between the Starbucks and John Lewis is a viewpoint down into the old dock that the entire shopping centre is built on. But did you know that you can go on a full tour of the remaining dock with Liverpool Maritime Museum?
The tour tells the story of the world’s first commercial enclosed wet dock, and the impact that this had on the development of the city of Liverpool. Starting at the Maritime Museum with a brief history of Liverpool and what an enclosed wet dock is, the majority of the tour is spent under Liverpool One in the remains of the old dock which are accessed via the Liverpool One car park.
