Also really enjoyed seeing those ferries along the Mersey. Not to date myself, but bet that is what the beetles song was about.... way back when. To further date myself, I went to their concert about 1964?? in the Cow Palace in San Francisco, and all of the parents were having such a fit that the Beetles were so wild.... Good thing they did not see what was coming later.... Anyway, your photos of this area were really enjoyable. Also, thank you for stopping by my blog. Cheers to you!
