Voss Garage and Transit Shed, Mann Island, Liverpool, Merseyside. Interim Fabric Survey Report

An investigation of the Voss Garage and Transit Shed, Mann Island (SJ 3404 9005) was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) at the request of Wardell Armstrong, on behalf of the Neptune Developments.

The area of works lies within the centre of Liverpool (Figure 1) and adjacent to the dockland area (Albert and Canning Docks) and lies within the extent of the Maritime Mercantile City of Liverpool World Heritage Site. The Maritime Mercantile City of Liverpool was granted World Heritage status (WHS) in 2004. Within the WHS area the buried archaeological deposits are regarded as 'a nationally significant resource', which is "highly fragile and vulnerable to damage and destruction" (LCC 2003).
