Extensive repairs have begun at Liverpool's historic Albert Dock after years of winter storms and surging tides caused cracks and holes to appear in the sea wall.
Some 18 holes and 14 metres of significant cracks were found in the 180-year-old wall by the Canal and River Trust during its latest annual inspection.
Labourers from Kier construction group, commissioned by the Trust, moved onto the river side of the Tate Modern art gallery this morning (October 19) for a complex eight week maintenance programme spanning 350m.
