Nope. Last time I was in Liverpool was 2000. 2001 I only went to London and Paris and have not been back since as I went to places in the US for hols. You made me nervous there as I thought maybe someone sent me that pic but all my pics of the Cavern and Matthew Street have the same 'back of photo'

Does this help? Same back as the other two so must have been the same time. I have 2 hard copies of each of these 3 photos

That long ago? Come on Ged,you must know!:nod:

That walkway only went about 3 years ago. :shock:

In 2008, I recall going down that pathway to Birkenhead for the Beatles Festival venues over on that Port.. Never had that second instullation of the museum yet.. Lots of people using the Iris (ferry) and lots to take pics of now.. This is an impressive picture.. Shows the old (background) and the new (museums) and then the Old ferry Iris.. I hope that doesn't change into a super boat now.. ta Gregs Dad.. excellant (glad you stayed afloat on your toes) ha ha

Here she is. Can't wait for the restoration to be complete. You can see it says WAVERTREE in white on the black stripe.

Wavertree was built at Southampton, England in 1885 for R.W. Leyland & Company of Liverpool, one of the last large sailing ships built of wrought iron. Today, she is the largest afloat. Wavertree was first employed to carry jute, used in making rope and burlap bags, between eastern India (now Bangladesh) and ... See MoreScotland. When less then two years old she entered the tramp trades, taking cargoes anywhere in the world she could find them. After sailing for a quarter century, she limped into the Falkland Islands in December 1910, having been dismasted off Cape Horn. Rather then re-rigging her, her owners sold her for use as a floating warehouse at Punta Arenas, Chile. She was converted into a sand barge at Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1947, and acquired by the South Street Seaport Museum in 1968.
