Something from the weekend
As I was in Liverpool for a visit to the workings of the Queensway Tunnel, and the walk through (which I have posted on that thread), I had a wander around with my camera and captured a few pictures:
We started in the William Duncan, a bog-tiled pub on St John's Lane - I gather this is repro, but very well done:

I tried to get the same view as in my 1970s picture of the Albert Dock:

but in those days there were no canal boats:

ALthough I like some modern architecture, I'm not sure that this is the right place for it:

and a few from Birkenhead:
