Former Albert Dock Traffic Office to become new entrance pavilion for the International Slavery Museum

Liverpool is putting its role in transatlantic slavery under the spotlight in a radical transformation of the city’s waterfront.

The Albert Dock Traffic Office – once at the heart of world commerce – is being redeveloped into a new entrance pavilion for the International Slavery Museum (ISM) in a National Museums Liverpool project which aims to make the docklands a centre for excellence in the study of black history.
