The Stanley Dock Warehouse Complex

Stanley Dock itself opened in 1848, and between 1852-55 it was equipped with import warehouses similar to those at Albert Dock, although at Stanley the original, contemporary hydraulic pumping station survives, albeit currently in a poor state. 

In 1901 the dock was partly infilled and the largest tobacco warehouse in the world was built between the south stack of the old warehouses and the new water's edge to the north. 

The entire complex, with its high perimeter walls is largely complete, with many interesting details, making it currently the most challenging adaptive re-use opportunity in Liverpool. 

On the south side there are a number of later bridges linking to the south Warehouse. The area between The Tobacco Warehouse and South Stanley Warehouse is known locally as "Pneumonia Alley" because it is almost always in shade and often acts as a wind tunnel.
