The given pictures illustrate the way in which Liverton docks have changed for entertainment and residential purposes from 1980 to the present day.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that the port area has completely changed in terms of uses from industrial to entertainment and residential, whereas others such as ships and cranes have all gone.
Additionally, over the period from 1980 to now, the area has undergone dramatic transformation with several large changes including infrastructure, housing areas, and amenities.
In 1980, there were 2 warehouses in the north, each warehouse on a different side, respectively west and east; there was a warehouse in the center south. In the middle of the warehouses in the north, there was a crane; in the left-hand side under the warehouse there was also a crane. There were four boats in the river and 1 of the 4 boats was going upstream.
Nowadays, almost all industrial areas and freight transport have been removed and replaced by public utilities. In the southern area, the former warehouse was converted into a ship museum, showing a shift towards preserving historical value. On the left side of the map, a river walk was added, likely to enhance public access and leisure opportunities along the riverside. Meanwhile, the right side saw the construction of a flood barrier and a connecting bridge, which suggests improvements in infrastructure and flood protection. In the lower part of the map, a hotel, an apartment complex, and a parking lot were introduced, indicating a transformation of the area towards residential and tourism-related purposes.
