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]
