The Keel building is the former HM Revenue and Customs building which straddles Queen’s Graving Dock in Liverpool. It has been converted into luxury apartments (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-queens-dock-hmrc-office-9415946 Liverpool Echo). Queen's Dock is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to King's Dock to the north, Coburg Dock to the south. The dock was opened in 1785 and later expanded. At its largest, the dock consisted of a main basin and two branch docks, which were separated by a graving dock. Branch Dock Number 2 (to the north) has since been filled in and is used as a car park. Branch Dock Number 1 (to the south, and in the picture) houses the Liverpool Watersports Centre.
