…it’s a very good point, I also understand the water once came in quite a way.

Sad geek question, but do you know if there’s a map showing that?

I don't know anything about construction, it's amazing to me that you can fill in a dock with sand and then drive piles into it that will support a giant structure!

Its not really the sand that give it its stability. The piles will be driven through the sand to make firm with the bedrock. The piles will prevent movement, or sinking. An effectively piled structure done here should still stand if you removed all of the dock infill from underneath it.
The bedrock isn't as deep as you may think, which is why Liverpool is also really good for tunnelling.

It was at one time the largest brick building in the world.

Still might be, dunno.

It is yeah.

1644: Leland's Historical Map of Lerpole • Historic Liverpool

This map of 'Lerpole' (Liverpool) is two-layered: a map of Leland overlaid with Prince Rupert's Civil War siege depicted over the top of it.

Your only real point of reference here is Castle street, the top of which the town hall now stands wit the courts at the bottom. The site of the old castle is where the Queen Victoria monument is now.

I think you're referring to the Pool as in the last post. I think that goes somewhere towards Whitechapel and Duke Street.

Don't forget bricks and brick work.

I think they are 2 similar brick buildings in Bristol, maybe smaller?
