Here
we explore the Stanley Docks, derelict monuments to Liverpool's naval heritage.
Falling
into disuse and dereliction in the 1980s, the tobacco warehouse was constructed
in 1901 and at the time was the worlds largest building, in terms of area.
The original warehouses, constructed in the style of the world famous Albert Docks, were opened in the 1840s but sadly haven't shared the same fate as their better known sister buildings.

The
buildings are well secured so sadly proved too difficult to access
internally.
Plans
are in place to redevelop the existing warehouses into apartments and offices,
and while this would certainly make the area more popular, it will be a great
shame to see such majestic examples of dereliction removed.
