Standing since 1846, Albert Dock was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world, as the complex uses iron and brick in place of wood. Albert Dock has historically been one of the foremost and innovative docks in the world, and a front runner in technology such as hydraulic cranes."

The Albert Dock is now the most popular area for attractions in the city with various museums including The Beatles Story. Opened in 1846, Albert Dock was the first structure in Britain to be built without wood."

"There’s just something about being by the water that can be romantic. Royal Albert Dock as the sun sets is divine.
