    LONDON, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Queen Elizabeth has agreed to rename one of Britain's greatest dock warehouse complexes as the Royal Albert Dock in recognition of the pivotal role it has played in the fortunes of Liverpool, it was announced Wednesday.

    The 172-year old brick complex on the banks of the River Mersey was given its original name in 1946 when it was opened by Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.

    The iconic warehouse, located in Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage Waterfront, is the largest group of Grade I listed buildings in Britain.

    The change of name from today highlights the numerous current and former sovereigns who have recognised the importance of the dock both for its historical and architectural significance and its place within Liverpool, said a spokesperson at the dock.

    Sue Grindrod, CEO of the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool, described the new name as a game-changer for both the dock, and Liverpool.

    Grindrod said: "I cannot tell you how happy we are that The Queen has bestowed this honor on Albert Dock. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the dock's history, highlighting the important role heritage tourism can play within the city and city region context, and firmly repositioning the dock on the international stage."

    Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: "Albert Dock holds a special place in the heart of Liverpool and this Royal recognition solidifies the significance of the Dock in this country and around the world. The regal stamp of approval is a reflection of this city's heritage and cultural importance and I am thrilled at this news."

    The dock was designed by architect and dock engineer Jesse Hartley when Liverpool was one of the most important seaports in the world. The complex was given Grade I listed status in 1952, but was closed and abandoned 20 years later and at one time faced demolition.

    In the 1980s it was redeveloped and is now home to the Tate Liverpool gallery, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slave Gallery, as well as restaurants, shops and apartments.
