The Goods Office
Thought to have been built between 1860–65, this building was originally a freight services office. Liverpool Road Station handled cargo from across the world, including food shipments from oysters to oranges, and dry goods such as cotton and coal.
1830 Viaduct
The 1830 Viaduct is part of the site’s original railway station. The railway’s engineer, George Stephenson, designed the Viaduct to solve the problem of Liverpool Road’s sloping land, creating a flat, upper level to support the railway tracks.
Today, this newly landscaped outdoor space is open to explore and provides a fresh perspective of the 1830 Station and 1830 Warehouse, which are currently closed.
