One of the glories of the Liverpool Waterfront is The Albert Dock. This huge complex of fully restored red-brick docks and warehouses is the largest complex of Grade I Listed Buildings in Britain.

The buildings themselves now contain shops,restaurants,pubs,offices,The Beatles' Story, The Maritime Museum, The International Slavery Museum and Tate Liverpool.This hugely important gallery of modern art is one of the leading art galleries in the country. At the moment it is holding the most comprehensive exhibition of the works of Gustav Klimt ever held in this country.

Hey nice shot Mr Braces
Bristol is an old maritime port too as you know, & this old warehouse reminds me of the Arnolfini which is on the Watershed (Bristols disused city docks) too !!
These are two similar buildings old Jerry left us. ;o)

Great post Steve and it is nice to see old buildings being restored. This one had a lot of firsts'. No wood involved at all. I bet is is a great place to go and gaze upon the harbor.

Yes I remember walking past a studio window here while Richard and Judy were filming, and seeing Fred the weatherman's map on the water. Nice shot Steve.
