Description

The dock retaining walls at Duke's Dock were built in 1773 for the Duke of Bridgewater and were extended with a half-tide dock between 1841 and 1845. The walls are made of sandstone, which has been patched with brick, while the half-tide dock is constructed from granite. Duke's Dock features the only 18th-century dock walls still standing in Liverpool.
