The graphics illustrate the layout of Liverton docks as it is now, compared to


e: ori

how it used to look in 1980.

Overall, the area has transformed from an actively functional port zone to a
on p:

modern one, most notably with a new access across the river being installed
and several educational, residential and leisure facilities being newly
ph ou

introduced.

Looking first at the northern part, two old warehouses in 1980 are now
gr

converted into an education center and a children’s playground, together with


a sail club in between. These developments have resulted in the demolition of
two old cranes located alternately with the warehouses.

As for the remaining area, another crane and warehouse on the other riverside
have also been removed to create space for a hotel and a block of apartments
with a parking lot adjacent to it. Along the south riverbank, there is an addition
of a novel pedestrian path. This river walk is now in conjunction with a newly
built bridge and a flood barrier spanning the river. Eventually, a ship museum
in the form of a large ship floating on the river has been established while
multiple ships in the original structures have been decommissioned.
