What you'll see
A square of huge red-brick warehouses on iron columns around a still dock basin, now full of museums, cafés and shops, with old ships moored along the quays.
A brief history
It opened in 1846 as the first dock warehouses in Britain built without structural wood, so they wouldn't burn. After years of decay they were restored in the 1980s.
