Albert Dock, Liverpool, Mads Stage

In 1207 King John granted the fishing village of 'Livpul', a charter to encourage the development of the port. Modern Liverpool prospered in the 17th and 18th centuries through the impact of the West Indies sugar trade and slave trade. It became a busy terminal for the Cunard Line and merchant ships from all over the world. Albert Dock forms part of the 7 miles of docks along the waterfront. Three landmarks dominate the pierhead - Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Dock Board Offices. Liverpool is the second largest post after London.
