Queen's Dock

Queen's Dock is a dock on the River Mersey and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to King's Dock to the north, Coburg Dock to the south. The dock was designed by Henry Berry and opened in 1785. It was later expanded by John Foster, Sr..

The dock has two branch docks separated by a graving dock. The graving dock is now straddled by an HM Revenue and Customs building.

This and the other docks in the southern system are owned by British Waterways.
