Stanley Dock

Stanley Dock

Stanley Dock is a dock, on the River Mersey, England and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the Vauxhall area of Liverpool and is part of the northern dock system. The dock is connected to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to the east and Collingwood Dock to the west.

Designed by Jesse Hartley, it opened in 1848. The original warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. Part of the northern warehouse was demolished after sustaining damage in an air raid during the Second World War.
