...Boys were about three shillings.

I think you could have phrased that slightly more carefully, Brian!

Great story. It's before my time at sea and fascinating to hear about it all. I don't actually remember the building, which is a puzzle as it is certainly very memorable. I might try and see the gates - Sandwell is only a few miles from me.

Thanks - know exactly where you mean. I'll try and get over there one day soon.

Hi Kevin,

You have missed an opportunity to visit these Gates as they have been removed for refurb, and hopefully, they will then be transported directly to Liverpool

So its a Liverpool visit for you now
