[2] The dock had a southern branch which was filled in 1967, and warehouses were removed from the north and south quaysides.

[5] In 1980, disused buildings including one of the Liverpool Lighterage Company, a training school and a customs house still remained on the north quayside.

[8] The river entrance was filled in during the 1980s, and replaced with a permanent roadway leading to a large temporary car park on the site of King's Dock.

The remaining buildings on the north quayside were also removed, to create permanent car parking space for the Albert Dock.

[citation needed] The waterspace, of this and the other docks in the southern system, was owned by British Waterways from 2003 to 2012 and now transferred to the Canal & River Trust.
