The Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse is the world's largest brick warehouse http://www.worldheritagesite.org/sites/liverpool.html . It is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 359563 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-359563-tobacco-warehouse-on-south-side-of-stanl#.Vbvh1nnbKHs British Listed Buildings) The warehouse, dated 1900, is adjacent to the Stanley Dock, in Liverpool. With the decline of trade going through Liverpool, the warehouse fell into disuse in the 1980s and gradually into disrepair. Various plans have been unveiled for the Tobacco Warehouse to be redeveloped into several hundred apartments as part of a larger development of the whole Stanley Dock site.
