Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse

While the Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse is no longer a functioning warehouse today, its deeply rooted history continues. At 38 metres high and with a span across 15 hectares, it’s still quite a large building, even by today’s standards. In its entirety, the building’s construction took 27 million bricks, 30,000 panes of glass and 8,000 tonnes of steel.

The warehouse remained functional up until the 1980s when trade began to dissipate. The building began to crumble into disrepair, but eventually became a space for a variety of events, such as the Sunday Heritage Market, a rave and a range of live music events.
