Alexandra Dock, Liverpool

"Go Pegasus" in Alexandra Dock

Alexandra Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Bootle. Alexandra Dock consists of a main basin nearest the river wall and three branch docks to the east, with the southern branch mostly filled in. Opened in 1881, it is connected to Hornby Dock to the north and Langton Dock to the south.

Prior to the construction of Seaforth Dock, Alexandra Dock was involved in the grain trade. It also provided refrigeration facilities for imported frozen meat. Latterly, its main export is recycled scrap metal.^[1]

The dock was served by LNWR Alexandra Dock railway station and the Liverpool Overhead Railway's Alexandra Dock (LOR) railway station.
