Sandon Dock

Sandon Dock

Sandon Dock was a dock on the River Mersey, England and part of the Port of Liverpool. Situated in the northern dock system, it was east of Sandon Half Tide Dock, to which it was once connected.

It was designed by Jesse Hartley and opened in 1851. Originally the dock basin was considerably larger and consisted of six graving docks to the north.

The dock has since been filled in and the site redeveloped as a sewage treatment plant and pumping station.
