The Pump House

A classic-style pub, the Pump House offers popular favorites, craft beers and real ales alongside its drinks, as well as impressive wine, gin and rum lists. An extensive menu includes freshly prepared seasonal specials with traditional British flavors such as wild boar sausages and steak and ale pie, as well as an impressive selection of burgers and varied salads...

There is a lot of activity and a lively atmosphere. Cocktails are served by glass or jug. They are perfect for an evening sunset in the beer garden at the harbor. (Source: albertdock.com/food-drink/pump-house/)

Royal Albert Dock Liverpool

Highlight • Historical Site

The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it opened in 1846 and was the first structure in Britain to be built of cast iron, brick and stone without any load-bearing timber. This made it the first non-combustible storage system in the world. It was known simply as Albert Dock until 2018, when it was granted a royal charter and the honorary title “Royal” was added to its name.

At the time of its construction, the dock was considered revolutionary in its design, as ships were loaded and unloaded directly to or from the warehouses. Two years after its opening, it was remodeled and equipped with the world's first hydraulic cranes. [3] Due to its open yet secure design, the dock became a popular storage facility for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite its advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology led to the need for larger and more open docks within 50 years, although Albert Dock remained a valuable cargo storage location (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Albert_Dock ,_Liverpool).

Liverpool Working Horse Monument 'Waiting'

Highlight • Monument

The Liverpool Working Horse Monument 'Waiting' was designed by renowned equine sculptor Judy Boyt in consultation with members of the Retired Carter's Association. The horse will stand approximately 16 hands high (1.80 m, 6 feet), cast in bronze, on a rectangular slate base. The base will have the outline of a cart and two horses, as well as a potted history of the Liverpool Workhorse sandblasted into the surface.

The estimated total cost of the memorial is now £120,000. To date, the Carters have accumulated a balance of over £76,000 on their own. Fundraising is underway and they have been designated as a non-profit organization.

The location of the monument has yet to be confirmed. The Carters believe that a position at the Albert Dock site, Hartley Quay, would be appropriate as many of them have traveled the cobbled streets of the area during their careers (Source: liverpoolmonuments.co. uk/projects/carters.htm).

The Royal Liver Building has shaped Liverpool's cityscape for more than a century. The 90 meter high building was built in 1911 and was an architectural sensation at the time.

Museum of Liverpool

Highlight • Historical Site

Very well done, informative museum about the city and the people of Liverpool. Divided over 3 floors, the history of the city is presented visually and vividly in all centuries since its founding. A small cinema on the 3rd floor offers films and information about the Beatles.
