Hello Soreofhing
Very pleased to help.
You might want to check out the film posted on YouTube taken from the Overhead Railway in the late 19th century which certainly gives a sense of how the docks looked way back then:

Liverpool filmed in 1896-1897.
Begins with scenes filmed on Lime Street with St. George's Hall the classical looking building at the right where the trial of Florence Maybrick was held in August to September 1889. Later on, we see the scenes of the Liverpool docks as filmed from the Overhead Railway, demolished some decades ago (I rode on it as a toddler circa 1953).
All the best
Chris
