General - Liverpool Docks

[MikeP]

Hi. I’m a new member and wanted to say thanks so much for your incredible article and pics of the Waterloo Pier Head. My grandfather lived at the Pier Head between the dock master and the pier master n 1900. He was some type of engineer. I have been trying to find out more about the Pier Head since beginnimg my family history research 20 years ago. Shame the building have gone but the history of this corner of Liverpool is well worth recording. Once again, thanks for all your efforts.
kind regards, Mike Peel (Sowerby Bridge)

If you haven't already been, the Merseyside Maritime Museum archives might be worth a look for info on Waterloo and surrounding docks.

Does anyone know where 12 Waterloo Pier Head was? It was the home of my Grandfather Thomas Atkinson who was Dockmaster at the time of my Father’s birth in 1924

Have you got a link to the article you refer to? My Father was born in 12 Waterloo in 1924.

Report - - South Central Docks (Liverpool, Feb, 2020) | Industrial Sites

This report follows on from a previous one about the Liverpool central docks (https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/central-docks-liverpool-2018.116392) and covers a small patch of wasteland at the southern end, shown by the dotted ellipse below. It doesn’t look like much when you walk...

Report - - Princes Jetty and Landing Stages (Liverpool, Feb, 2020) | Industrial Sites

Dullest explore ever? Maybe, but these structures are due to be demolished to make way for a new cruise ship terminal, so worth a final look. The interest is mainly historical - the landing stages were a test bed for the use of reinforced concrete in the docks, paving the way for the much more...

Also around that area, is the pumping station, that I do believe is part of M.E.P.A.S which is quite big, and I do believe for access and safety reasons has not been explored, or at least, no report has ever been posted. If any liverpool based urbexers could crack that one, I would be in awe, but does seem unlikely, but always remain hopeful
