The Albert Dock was once the base for the East India and China Trades, consisting of five blocks of warehouses grade 1 listed buildings surrounding a body of water larger than Trafalgar Square. The docks closed in 1792 after decades of disuse and in 1983 it became the site of a £100 million regeneration project. The new development was fully completed in 2003, transformed into a vibrant waterfront with reastaurants, bars, shops and apartments. It has become the site of Merseyside Maritime Museum and Tate Liverpool, attracting millions of visitors every year.
