Hornby Dock

Hornby Dock

Hornby Dock was located on the River Mersey, England and was part of the Port of Liverpool. It was situated in the northern dock system in Bootle. It connected to Gladstone Dock to the north and Alexandra Dock to the south and encompassed a sloping quayside.

Opened in 1884, Hornby Dock marked the completion of Liverpool dock system's period of expansion in the nineteenth century. Used by the timber trade, the dock was named after Thomas Dyson Hornby, chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board between 1876 and 1889.

Apart from an access channel along the river wall, the dock has been filled in to provide additional space for the coal terminal at Gladstone Dock.
