  • A Vision for North Shore
    View from Lee - north to south Published September 2020 3 North Shore Vision I am pleased to introduce this North Shore Vision for the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site. Foreword Liverpool is a city that is undergoing a multi-billion pound renaissance and we are constantly seeking the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. We are proud of our unique heritage and have a desire to ensure that the city continues to thrive, with its historic legacy safeguarded and enhanced. On 17 July 2019, Liverpool City Council declared a Climate Change Emergency and I led a debate on the impending global ecological disaster, calling on all political parties to come together to rise to the challenge of making Liverpool a net zero carbon city by 2030. The way we do things in the future will need to change to a more sustainable model. To achieve this, the city has embraced the principles of the United Nations Development and this document sets out our ambitions for future growth and development for the North Shore area of the city firmly within this context. We have already begun work with partners to deliver that ambition. Existing and highly successful examples include the iconic Titanic Hotel redevelopment, restoration of the Tobacco Warehouse and the proposed refurbishment of the listed Engine House at Bramley Moore Dock which reinvigorate dilapidated heritage assets on the North Docks, providing access and interpretation to a new generation of people in the City. Liverpool has a well-earned reputation for being a city of firsts.

Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading.

  • Shipping Safety Within the Port of Liverpool Adrian Jarvis
    Safe Home in Port? Shipping Safety within the Port of Liverpool Adrian Jarvis Introduction: Sources and Methods The issue of safety at sea has long exercised the minds of those who were concerned by what they perceived as irresponsible shipowners who sent their men to sea in dangerous vessels or with dangerous cargoes. Samuel Plimsoll is just the most famous among many who sought to bring to the shipping industry the sort of controls which already existed in many shore-based industries, and a number of Parliamentary enquiries investigated these questions in the nineteenth century.' Maritime historians have taken a good deal of interest in the answers, at both scholarly and more popular levels. Further down the scale comes the literature of spectacular shipwrecks, the worst examples of which are not merely voyeuristic or ghoulish but positively necrophiliac. What author of third-rate novels could improve on the real-life storyline of the Titanic? It raised issues of class and gender, of social, financial and technological hubris, and of heroism and neglect.' The common perception is that such tragic events invariably unfolded either in mid- ocean or on storm-battered rocky shores and in terms of bulk fatalities that perception is obviously correct. Its corollary, that one is safe in po rt, is not merely widely accepted but has extended to the use of the po rt as a metaphor for Heaven, with Jesus as celestial pilot and the Holy Trinity as the po rt authority.' This paper makes a rapid survey of the records of the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board (MD&HB), which shows that there obviously were accidents to ships when they were supposedly safe in po rt, that such accidents were numerous and that some of them were serious.

  • Liverpoo'l World Heritage Waterfront
    Albert Dock – Albert Dock and its warehouses were opened in 1846 by Prince Albert. They were designed by Jesse Hartley, the dock engineer with assistance from the architect Philip Hardwick. The dock was one of the earliest enclosed docks in the world and it is believed to form the largest group of Grade 1 Listed Buildings in England. The use and condition of the dock and warehouses declined during the 20th century, but they were comprehensively restored and converted to a mix of uses in the 1980s. They are now the most popular non- paying visitor attraction in the North West. IHBC Summer School Saturday 16th June 2007 Stanley Dock – Stanley Dock was opened in 1848 and between 1852-55 it was equipped with import warehouses of fire-proof construction similar to those at Albert Dock, all to the de- Tour signs of Jesse Hartley, the dock engineer. In 1901, the dock was partly infilled and Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse was constructed, using over 27 million bricks. It is believed to be the largest brick building in the world. The whole complex is disused, apart from the ground Liverpool’s World Heritage Waterfront floor of two of the warehouses, where a market is held every Sunday. Discussions are under- way with the owners to try to find a sustainable use for the buildings.

  • Whs-Spd-Lowres
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Adopted October 2009 Foreword Foreword by Peter Millea, Executive Member for Regeneration and John Kelly, Executive Director Regeneration This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the World Heritage Site (WHS) is issued following extensive public consultation by Liverpool City Council. The City Council and partners have noted the representations made by many that the WHS should contribute to the regeneration, visitor economy and local sense of civic pride in Liverpool, over coming months and years. The City Council will therefore commit more resources to promotion and interpretation of the WHS to ensure that its unique cultural heritage is fully utilised, as well as being properly conserved. The purpose of the SPD is to provide a planning framework for development which will enhance the city’s heritage and boost investment, tourism and regeneration. Above all, it is intended as a policy document which will encourage economic regeneration with an emphasis on quality. It is part of an emerging statutory development framework for the city which will outline more specific guidance on land allocations to prioritise target areas for economic growth for the whole city, including the World Heritage Site and areas bordering on it. The SPD includes important principles about World Heritage Site management in the longer term, with the emphasis on preserving and enhancing Liverpool’s outstanding universal value and the quality of its public realm. However, it is being issued at a time when the global and UK economy is contracting and a main priority for the City Council is the city’s continuing economic regeneration.
