Morpeth Dock, Historic dock and Grade II listed building in Wirral, England.
Morpeth Dock features granite-faced walls, cast-iron dock furniture, and a main basin connected to the River Mersey through a lock system.
Engineers J.M. Rendel and J.B. Hartley established the dock in 1847, later reconstructing and enlarging it in 1868 to accommodate increased maritime traffic.
The dock structure represents the engineering methods of the Victorian era with its interlocking stone patterns and hydraulic power system installations.
Visitors can access the National Heritage site through local transport connections, with the dock located at coordinates 53.399203, -3.015261 in Birkenhead.
The dock maintains original cast-iron hatches on raised wharf surfaces, which provided access to an 1880s hydraulic system for operating the gates.
