Six docks are partially or wholly within the Royal and Ancient Park of Toxteth.  Work in progress only Herculaneum is linked in

Queens Dock : was the only one built by 1800. It was extended between 1810 and 1816 and ahain in 1865, it was for many years the main dock for the timber trade. The boundary of Toxteth Park runs across part of the dock, some thus lies within the Park.

Coburg Dock : This site was first developed in 1823 and completed in a major reconstruction of 1857-1858. It took in general cargo such as fruit, palm oil in trade with West Africa and. Portugal but from 1906 much of Liverpool's expanding grain trade was centred on the Coburg granary.

Brunswick dock : opened in 1832 and was largely used as a timber dock. The opening of the north end's Canada Dock (not in Toxteth) later took away much of Brunswick's timber trade, as well as that of the Toxteth and Harrington docks.

Toxteth and Harrington opened in 1839 and 1841 respectively. Later Brunswick turned to  coal, meat, hides, heavy machinery and grain for the Coburg Granary but Toxteth and Harrington Docks declined, the former in 1875 described as being shut out "from the bustle of the outer world ... an oasis of quiet in the midst of the surging roar of commerce outside ... the only place in ... the Liverpool docks where the grass grows on the quays". Its isolation, however, made it useful for the storage of dangerous cargoes such as gun-powder.  Toxteth and Harrington Docks were revitalised in the 1880s, with double storey transit sheds, hydraulic cranes and hoists.

Herculaneum : started as a small dock to serve Charles Roe's copper smelting works in 1767 and from the mid-19th century it had developed so that by 1902 it boasted four huge graving docks for ship maintenance and repair. Its trading was mostly in coal and oil products and later its huge petroleum stores dominated the area.
