Standing sentinel like over the docks and visible for miles around is the Dock Tower, a 309 feet high red brick monument to the town’s commercial importance in the mid 19th century. Reputedly built with a million red bricks the tower is a curious mix of Victorian, Renaissance and Moorish architecture. Built in 1849 the tower survived the 2nd World War as it was used as a marker for Luftwaffe pilots on their way to the Lancashire cities.
