| 説明 | This is a small piece of the ornate big gates of the Port Authority Building at the Pier Head. The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC), formerly the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (MDHB), owns and administers the dock facilities of the Port of Liverpool. These include the operation of the enclosed northern dock system that runs from Princes Dock to Seaforth Dock, and the dock facilities built around the Great Float of the Wirral Peninsula. Liverpool Town Council's Dock Committee was the original port authority. In 1709 it had been authorised to construct Liverpool's first enclosed ship basin, the Old Dock, which was the world's first commercial wet dock. By 1750 the old Dock Committee was replaced by the Liverpool Dock Trustees. The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board took over running of Liverpool's docks from the trustees in 1858.These lovely cast iron gates and gate piers are decorated with mermaids, shells, anchors, and have shields with the initials "M.D. & H.B. |
