It opened its doors back in the 1980s.
Occupying a central place on Liverpool's waterfront, The Albert Dock today boasts an internationally renowned gallery, as well as restaurants, bars, shops, and, of course, the dock itself. But decades ago, life there couldn't have looked more different. In the 1980s - following huge local efforts and extensive regeneration - the government allocated money to help renovate parts of the dock, as well as seeking out private investment.
'This was a vacant section and the actual work of fitting out has taken 16 weeks, since we started from brick, stone and dust. But our involvement in the scheme and negotiations have been spread over something in the region of 12 months.' Brilliant images, courtesy of our archives, Mirrorpix, offer a glimpse inside the venue in its early years. Unseen for years, you can see wider shots of the restaurant, what the décor was like at the time and also one member of staff.
