Queens Dock
Queen's Dock, Chaloner Street, Liverpool L1 0AE, United Kingdom
Queens Dock is on the Liverpool South Docks just past the junction with Sir Thomas Telford's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Liverpool South Docks were drawn up by John Harding in 1835 but problems with Amberston Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Blackpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In 2001 the canal became famous when Oliver Parker navigated Stockport Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.

![Queen's Dock, Liverpool. Queen's Dock is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to King's Dock to the north, Coburg Dock to the south.The dock was opened in 1785 and later expanded. At its largest, the dock consisted of a main basin and two branch docks, which were separated by a graving dock. Branch Dock Number 2 (to the north) has since been filled in and is used as a car park. The graving dock is now straddled by the former HM Revenue and Customs building which has now been converted into luxury apartments ([[[4582197]]]).Branch Dock Number 1 (to the south) houses the Liverpool Watersports Centre. by David Dixon – 20 July 2015](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/58/22/4582231_422423d9_120x120.jpg)

Looking like a giant chess piece (with a smaller one from another set perched on top) this is a fine example of the playful love of Victorian architects for making utilitarian structures look like mediaeval architecture; note the crenellation and machicolation here. (For another example of disguising a hydraulic tower to look like earlier architecture, see [[7641164]].) The architect was Jesse Hartley and it dates from 1856.
