Tate & Lyle Sugar Silo, Industrial storage silo at Huskisson Dock, Liverpool, England.
The concrete structure spans 86,000 square feet and features 12 sections supported by external ribs, with a conveyor tower for sugar transportation.
Between 1955 and 1957, Tate & Lyle commissioned the Cementation Company to construct this storage facility for their Love Lane refinery operations.
The silo represents the evolution of Liverpool's maritime trade, marking the transition from traditional sugar transportation to modern bulk cargo handling methods.
The facility contained an intricate system of conveyors and railway hoppers that moved sugar from ships through the tower and distributed it across storage sections.
The structure remains operational today as a storage facility for animal feed, managed by Mersey Docks and Peel Ports since the sugar refinery closure.
