Bromborough Dock

Owned by the manufacturer Lever Brothers (and its successor Unilever), it served the company's factory at Port Sunlight.

Officially opened on 17 April 1931, it replaced a smaller dock and wharf built at Bromborough Pool in 1895.

Located at the mouth of the Pool, the new dock allowed for larger ocean-going vessels to berth.

Lever Brothers used its own fleet of barges and coasters to transport goods to and from other docks on the River Mersey and to the company's other factory site at Warrington via the Manchester Ship Canal.

It was also used for the construction of Maunsell army forts, offshore anti-aircraft towers which were placed in Liverpool Bay.
