The maps illustrate the changes that have taken place at Liverton Docks from 1980 to the present day.
Overall, Liverton Docks has been significantly modernized and transformed from an industrial dock area into a leisure and residential zone. Most of the old warehouses and cranes have been removed, and several new facilities have been built for education, housing, and recreation.
In 1980, the docks mainly consisted of warehouses on both sides of the river and several ships along the waterway. There were also cranes used for loading and unloading goods. The area appeared to serve as a working port, with limited facilities for the public.
Today, the docks have a completely different appearance. The warehouses have been replaced by modern buildings such as an education centre, a sailing club, and a children’s play area. A flood barrier has been added in the middle of the river to prevent flooding. On the lower part of the map, the old warehouses and cranes have been replaced by a hotel, apartments, and a parking lot. A river walk has also been constructed to provide public access along the waterfront. In addition, a ship museum has been opened near the river.
In conclusion, Liverton Docks has changed from a functional industrial site into a modern, attractive area for residents and visitors, with a focus on leisure, education, and tourism.
