The Albert Dock is a truly stunning architectural triumph. Opened in 1846, it soon became a treasure house of precious cargoes from all over the world. However, docks built to accommodate sailing ships could not provide deep enough water for the new steamships, and after 1890 trade declined, leaving the Albert Dock largely disused until its closure in 1972. Today redevelopment, costing in excess of £100 million, has transformed it into one of Liverpool's busiest and most cosmopolitan centres and a top heritage attraction.

Night & Day. Location: St Georges Dock Ventilation Station Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Designer: Herbert J. Rowse 1925-1934, Rebuilt 1951-1952 Sculptor: Edmund C Thompson The statues of Day and Night can be found near the base of the George's Dock Ventilation and Central Station of the Mersey Road Tunnel. This ventilation tower is one of six in total for the Queens Way tunnel. The tower was designed by Sir Basil Mott (Main architect) and John A. Brodie (Liverpool City Engineer) with Herbert J. Rowse as architect. The tower which forms part of the Liverpool skyline and part of the world heritage site was badly damaged during the war, and had to be largely rebuilt by Rowse in 1951-52. The two statues are made of Basalt and were sculpted by Edmund C Thompson.

Sefton's Natural Coast line stretches over 22 miles. It is a unique combination of beautiful beaches, sand dunes woodland and farm land which makes it a haven for flora and fauna. The sand dune system found along the Sefton Coast forms one of the largest and most stunning systems in the country, with parts of the coast designated as a EU Special Protection Area under the Birds Directive or as a EU proposed Special Area of Conservation under the Habitats Directive. Most of the coast line is also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest under UK law.
