The Victoria Tower, sometimes known as the Hexagonal Clock, marks the former entrance to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from the Mersey Estuary. However, in 2009 a new canal was constructed down through the docks and a new tunnel to allow canal boats to get down to the Albert Dock in the city centre without navigating the treacherous Mersey. The construction work behind the tower is for the new Everton football stadium. This August 2022 view from a Mersey Ferry 'cruise'.
