Very good, very clever. Gave me a real sense of how it was.
Some great vids there.
Got a film on vid(somewhere) taken from the overhead.It starts from the PH and runs for about 8 min.Just about all the ships in the packed Albert Dock are sail.Must try to find it.

The first moving film of Liverpool and the old St John's church as well, which was demolished shortly after.Quote:

Can anyone tell me the dimensions for the bow girder bridges please.
A Google might bring that up. I know the idea was to have one uniform dimensions from the stanchions. This was largely done, but there were exceptions and many different lengths.Quote:

A much clearer memory, and one I've probably mentioned here before, is of an old geezer in Rigbys keeping two yanks entertained (and getting free beer from them) by telling them the most outlandish tales of 'old' Liverpool. When the 'Pier Head went all the way to Lime St', and 'When the overhead railway still ran underground'. The entire pub was hanging on his every word, not just the two yanks. We don't seem to see characters of his calibre anymore.
You mean liars :)
