In the 1980's, the docklands declined due to ships becoming too large for the shallow waters of the docklands. As a result, ships moved down the coast to Tilbury. As a result of this, inner-city declination occurred and the economy went bust. hello

How did the Liverpool docklands go into decline?

It wasn't just Liverpool. London, Manchester, Glasgow, Leith, Cardiff, Bristol, Newcastle etc all suffered. The change came about with containerisation. Huge ships were built to accommodate thousands of containers and all of these ports weren't big enough or had water deep enough to accept these new larger ships. Felixstowe and Southampton are now the two main ports for large ships.
