The diagrams illustrate the redevelopment of Liverton Docks from 1980 to the present day.
Overall, the area has been transformed from an industrial, ship-handling dock into a mixed-use recreational and residential zone. Most warehouses and cranes have either been removed or converted, while new leisure facilities, housing, and a flood barrier have been introduced.
In 1980, the northern side of the docks was dominated by warehouses and cranes, with several ships moored along the central waterway. A further warehouse stood to the south, close to the riverbank. By today, the entire industrial infrastructure has disappeared. The former western warehouse has been converted into an education centre, while the central warehouse now serves as a sailing club. To the east, the remaining warehouse has been replaced by a children’s play area.
The dock area itself has also undergone major changes. The ships have been removed and replaced with a ship museum located along the water. Additionally, a new flood barrier and bridge have been constructed at the eastern end of the docks.
On the southern side, the old warehouse has been replaced with a hotel, and apartments have been built nearby. A new parking area and a riverside walk have also been introduced, reflecting the shift toward tourism and residential development.
