It's great seeing the pictures of the docks. I remember huge cranes loading and unloading ships straight onto the wagons. At Bidston docks, there were two giant ore cranes. It was a real shame to see them go. Dock is filled in now, for what seems to me, no apparent reason.
All Peel do is acquire land by any means - MDHC fillin Bidston though. Peel have filled docks in to make land. Land by stealth. They filled in Bidston Dock in Birkenhead, and do not need PP to do so, as it is for "industrial port use", they can just go ahead. They put a few sheds on the infilled dock space, which was always water being a part of the old Wallasey Pool. It could have made money just laying up the many idle ships around.
They should be made to excavate the dock as it was clear the land was not put to any good use.
