A short explore of an odd little building at the entrance to Collingwood Dock, on the opposite side of the road to the mighty Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse. The dock itself was built in 1848, but this looks more recent and was presumably the dock office, built with a sawn-off corner to allow the existing railway line to curve in.
Having previously looked round most of the other smaller buildings on the seaward side of the main dock wall (the bit where you are not supposed to be) I wasn’t expecting much content, and indeed there wasn’t any. But the rooms themselves were quite nice because of all the windows.
Front view with the Victoria tower just visible to the left, and a view from up in the warehouse on a rather wet day.
View from the rear showing that there was originally a shed attached to the back.
The main attractions in this area are of course the huge warehouses behind - still easy to access as conversion into apartments progresses and probably the best value mooch if you are passing through Liverpool.
