PhilipG 08-05-2007, 10:46 AM Great photos, Kev. The sepia one of St Nicholas is very old, as Mersey Chambers was built either 1870 or 1878 (depends which source you prefer) and it's yet to be built. drone_pilot 08-05-2007, 11:29 AM Some excellent images Kev, love the one of the Lusitania.

It was taken by E. Chambre hardman in 1958.He was supposed to be liverpool`s last fulltime fisherman. He wasn't, Mr Oxton, a neighbour was. He operated from the Cockle Hole until the 1970s. He would sail to Angelsey as the river was too polluted to sustain edible fish. We would buy flukes from him. He kept them in an old washing machine filled with water. Superb!!! The Echo had a piece on him once.
