The two maps shown below depicts the changes made to Liverton docks since 1980. Overall, it can be observed that the map at the top describes the region’s usage as a dock in 1980, while the map at the bottom shows the transformation of Liverton docks into an urbanised area today.
To begin with, in 1980, three warehouses were built alongside the river, two warehouses in the north and one warehouse in the south. In addition to this, a crane was situated adjacent to the southern warehouse and another crane was placed between the two warehouses in the north. Four ships were docked in the river.
On the other hand, drastic developments have been made to the dock. Primarily, the three warehouses were reduced to two, wherein, the northern warehouse has been reconstructed into an educational centre and the southern warehouse has been converted into an apartment building. Secondarily, new establishments have been made, a sailing club has been constructed to the right of the educational centre and a hotel has been built in the south of the riverbank to the west of the apartment building. Subsequently, two new areas in the east have been placed alongside the river bank, a kid’s playground and a parking space in the north and south, respectively. Furthermore, a river walk has been created in the southern riverbank and a ship museum has replaced the docked ships in the river. Moreover, towards the coast, a bridge and a flood barrier has been developed.
