Great picture!
I can see the QE2 out of my window at present!
I looked at your picture of that beautiful queen Quincy and was filled with envy. Here I am,sitting at my desk in an office on a busy Birmingham ring road;the sound of non-stop traffic filling my ears,outside the window there is the Gala Bingo and the Jaguar factory,and there ,on my p.c. screen, are the rollers crashing ashore on Crosby beach as that great Cunarder cruises by. Thanks for sharing that pic,I was back there ,even if only for a moment.

looks like it is going to run aground the next moment.
Speke Hall, Liverpool. This superb building belongs to the National Trust and is featured on the front cover of their 2008 visitors' guide. It's well worth a visit if you've not been before.
tooooo big :)Quote:

evening on the mersey at seacombe
The canal was filled in at its most extreme. Quite a bit of canal and a basin were filled in. The canal at one time nearly hit Princes Dock.Quote:

I think this may have been a better route rather than the current route in front of the Liver. Then the Princes, Princes half-Tide Docks could have been left deep water docks (not made shallow for) and deep water historic ships berthed in these docks.
A better idea was to have partially excavated the Old Dock (Steers Dock) - L1 is now on it. Have the Leeds/Liverpool canal enter the Old Dock and then onto the Canning Dock via the original Old Dock entrance. Then canal boats would have to enter the Old Dock using locks, surrounded by a shopping Centre. That would be much more atmospheric and re0-earthing history too, as the Old Dock was the world's first enclosed commercial dock.
Greg's dad, that picture of the ferries is particularly nice. Lovely colours :handclap:
