Albert Dock
Description
Originally built between 1841-1848 as a prosperous working dock, the Albert Dock has since been restored as a major tourist hot spot and draws over five million visitors each year. It is a world heritage site in the present day. It offers a fascinating blend of history, culture, shopping and excitement. In addition to the many shops and craft carts, there are numerous attractions including The Beatles Story Exhibition , Tate Gallery , Merseyside Maritime Museum plus Museum of Liverpool Life, Transatlantic Slavery Gallery and HM Customs & Excise National Museum . Superb bars and restaurants abound, including What's Cooking , Est Est Est and the The Pump House . Check the website for more on this.
I think the Albert docks are a fantastic experience, so much to see, and Liverppol itself has so much to offer tourists now, soon to be the capital of culture.
Unlike the person from Southport(Sleepville itself) I found the Albert Dock a very nice and layed back shopping expierence, some very different shops and a few nice cafes and bars(often used by the celebrity elements). If you are looking for a alternative shopping experience then check the Albert Dock out but some shops are pricey!!!
It was boring really. Just shops everywhere. The day would have been a complete disaster if it wasn't for the Dark. This was an exhibition on slavery, and it saved the day!It was interesting but I won't be going again.
