Liverpool has some of the greatest historical waterfront buildings in the world. The large brick warehouse in Wapping Quay was built in 1856, damaged in the Blitz in 1941 and converted to apartments in 1988.
Randomly came across prices for the apartments and they range from £150,000 - £350,000! Nice location just outside of the city centre but definitely out of my price range lol
my eyes are inflamed....have to give flickr a rest....sorry my friends...hopefully they'll recover soon....looks like I'll have days of boredom ahead.

The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel.
The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 m (254 yd)long and consisted of five separate sections.Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.
The East London Pub, which backs on to the River Thames, is named after the pirate, William Kidd, who was hanged at nearby Execution Dock in 1701.

On 27th September 1997, USA ‘Yankee’ 0-6-0 tank 30075 working on Wapping Wharf during its visit from the Swanage Railway to the Bristol Harbour Railway. Although this type of locomotive was purchased by the Southern Railway and used at Southampton Docks, this example was built in Croatia in 1960, as a Class ‘S100’, but based on the 'USA' design. It was purchased in 1990, moved from Slovenia to the UK and received an extensive overhaul at the Swanage Railway. A major steam pipe failure in 1998 saw it withdrawn from service. Following time at the East Somerset Railway, and the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), it has now found a more permanent home with the North Dorset Railway Trust at Shillingstone Station, although it is proposed that it will be placed on short-term loan to various railways around the country.
