I love to see the ships come in. The mersey looks lovely lit up too by fireworks from the great liners. The tall ships are coming back too, i cannot wait to see them. It makes us all proud and emotional. I feel proud to live ten minutes away from the river mersey. I love to see the ships come in.

I remember when the Parthia and the Media used to embark from that location in the 50's. What a sight, a truly remarkable ship, at an appropriate landing stage.

I emigrated to Australia at nineteen and have fond memories of my brother and I eating our packed lunches watching the ferries come and go a mid the hustle and bustle. Later when I was sixteen I would buy myself a cup of tea and some toast while waiting for the ferry to take me to Birkenhead, the fare was threepence. Imagine my shock ,years later when I saw the desecration, because that's how I saw it, of the beautiful landing stage replaced with a souless synthetic aluminium monstrosity. No attempt had been made at anything close to replication( and yes it can be done) what a loss, who ever sanctioned this construction should hang their head(s) in shame.
