TOPPING the charts for the most visitors to Liverpool is the Albert Dock, which literally has everything you could want in a day out.
Cafes, restaurants, exclusive shops, modern art and an engrossing history are just some of the ingredients that draw millions of people to the Liverpool waterfront site every year.
In the shadow of the Pier Head, work began on the Albert Dock in 1841, as the famous five storey warehouses were constructed following the design of the port of Liverpool's chief engineer Jesse Hartley.
The Albert Dock's warehouses offered secure storage facilities for cargo from all over the world.
The maritime history of the Albert Dock is a proud one - and although the dock was originally designed for sailing ships, steamers, barges, brandy boats and later corvettes in World War II - all docked at the site.
