Stacks vs Pavillions
I note that the article refers to 'Pavillion (formally xxx stack)'. Does this mean the formal name of the pavillion is xxx stack - or that it used to be xxx stack, with 'formally' being a mistake for 'formerly'? To my mind, 'formerly' is probably the word intended. If I don't get any argument ot proof to the contrary, I'll change it in a week or two. Peridon (talk) 19:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Page title update
The title of the page needs to be changed from The Royal Albert Dock Liverpool to Royal Albert Dock Liverpool.
 * Is there any reason why other than just branding? Dormskirk (talk) 17:19, 25 October 2018 (UTC)


 * It should be something like Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool or even Royal Albert Dock (Liverpool), but the current format doesn't meet WP:TITLE.
 * I'd also question whether Royal Albert Dock should go to the London dock (which is later), or to the set index page Albert Dock (disambiguation). Andy Dingley (talk) 08:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

No mention of Atlantic slave trade?
Just curious here: there's no mention of the Atlantic Slave Trade despite the Merseyside Maritime Museum being host to the International Slavery Museum, and the dry docks being located directly adjacent to (then not Royal but now) Royal Albert Dock, with the warehousing on the dock itself storing products yielded by the kidnapping and sale of Africans, with the main prewar economic boom of the city owing almost everything to the slave trade itself. It seems a little wild that it's not mentioned at all — I'm happy to include it based on secondary sources written by the museum itself as well as other sources, but I'm trying to build consensus first because of the rating of this article. Anyone care to chime in? ɯ ɐ ɔ 💬 08:11, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but having had a quick read up, the Slavery Abolishion Act was 1833 and the dock opened in 1846. I'm sure all slavery didn't end exactly in 1833 and money earned from the slavery probably funded part of the docks, but I can't see anything in the article, or about Jesse Hartley, that says how the dock's construction was funded. That aside, it does seem unusual there is little reference of slavery when the association with Liverpool is so strong. Did you have an idea what you were going to write about the links?
