History

The dock was designed by Jesse Hartley, and opened in 1848 along with four other Liverpool docks. [4] [5] The dock was named after Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood and was intended to handle relatively small vessels only. [5] The Liverpool Corporation had a berth for its refuse boats in Collingwood Dock for many years. [5] A bascule road bridge spans the passage between Collingwood and Stanley Docks.

Present

Collingwood Dock has been little altered since construction. [5] The dock is part of the Stanley Dock Conservation Area [6] and is on the route of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal extension to the Pier Head. [7]

Collingwood dock is home to the Glaciere Maritime Academy. [8]
