NOTES: The design for the Port of Liverpool Building (formerly Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Offices, more commonly known as the Dock Office) was won in competition by Briggs & Wolstenholme with Arnold Thornely and F. B. Hobbs. Built in 1904-1907, the structure is of steel encased in concrete, with a facing of Portland stone. The Royal Liver Building, designed in Edwardian Baroque style as the headquarters of the Royal Liver Assurance group by Walter Aubrey Thomas, was built in 1908-1911. It was the first reinforced concrete building to be built in the UK.
