It is now 15 years since finding a new use for Stack A was identified as a "conservation priority" by the original planning scheme for the Custom House Docks. And for most of that time, at least until restoration work got under way last autumn, it remained an eyesore amidst the office blocks of global commerce. Stack A may not be much of a "stack". A long rectangular building just two storeys high, it has nothing like the scale of those massive brick warehouses that surround Liverpool's Albert Dock, anchored now by the Tate Gallery. But it is a protected structure, mainly because of its cast-iron roof structure and brick-vaulted basement.
