There are two entrances to the Stanley Dock complex at the south end from Regent Road and two at the north from Great Howard Street, via sets of three granite towers. These towers are similar in design to the towers in other Liverpool docks, and originally had sliding gates set into the thickness of the wall.[11] There is also a link to the canal which opened in 1848, via the bridge under Great Howard Street, also designed by Hartley.

Hartley.[7]
