The Eumaeus leaving Birkenhead docks in 1974, note the sandcastle being built in the background. This is from a new book of photographs taken by Frank Lenhan and now owned and compiled by Colin Wilkinson who pops up with these gems from time to time.

Great picture Ged,and very nostalgic,nearly 50 years since I stood at the rail of that vessel. Is that the Liverpool Post and Echo building being constructed in the background ?

A front on view of her being tugged into dock from the same book. Yes Brians, that's the Royal Sun Alliance/Echo office building being built in the background.
