OK, here is a website.

This is the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in Liverpool (England)

www.pol.ac.uk

In particular, here are the data for the adjusted mean annual sea levels at
Liverpool since 1768

www.pol.ac.uk/psmsl/long.records/lpool.annual.mhw.adjusted

The records were started in 1764 by retired swashbuckler, Captain William
Hutchinson, who became dock master in 1759. The records from '64 to '67 are
lost as they were used by local mathematician, Richard Holden, and his
brother George, to produce Britain's first accurate set of tide tables. But
they forgot to give the data back.....

Plotting the data out, it is interesting to see a dominant oscillation
period of about 17 years  or so. But there is a definite trend for a rising
sea level - particularly at the end of the 20th century.

Whilst the Liverpool records are the oldest near continuous run of data in
Britain, the Dutch have records going back to 1700.

On the matter of Global Warming, there seems no doubt now that after 900
years in which the mean temperature in the Northern Hemisphere was
relatively constant, as measured using the historical evidence garnered
from tree rings, corals, ice cores, ocean sediments, glacier lengths and
historical records; the temperature started to climb sharply at the start
of the 20th century and continues to do so. The so called "hockey stick"
curve gets clearer and more definite as more data gets thrown at it - a
sure sign that it is not just a "bump on the graph".
