The Albert Dock in Liverpool, England, was opened in 1846 by its namesake, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Albert Dock, Liverpool
Based on plans submitted in 1839 by the civil engineers Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, for a combined dock and warehouse system, shipping entered the dock from either Canning Half Tide Dock to the North or Salthouse Dock to the east. The Albert Dock was built entirely of cast iron, brick, and stone, with no structural wood; it was the first building in the UK to be built in such a manner. It was also the first fire-proof warehousing system in the world. In 1848 it was upgraded to feature the world’s first hydraulic warehouse hoist system. The five Grade I buildings, covering 1.25 million sq ft, make the Albert Dock complex the largest set of Grade 1 Listed Buildings in the UK. It is nice historical attraction and one of sightseeing in Liverpool.

The University of Cambridge (Cambridge University), located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and has a reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious universities. The University grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed, early records suggest, in 1209 by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with local townsfolk there. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of English society, the two universities also have a long history of rivalry with each other. Cantabrigian is the formal adjective meaning “of Cambridge University” which is also used as a term for the university’s members (abbreviated as Cantab. in post-nominal letters for alumni). No matter if you are student or not if worth visit. It is very popular tourist spot.
