From the 1953 Timetable 10/10c CHURCH ST,
10 Finished at South Castle Street
10D DALE ST.
10C /10D at Pier Head
Though a most D routes later went outward via Tithebarn /Chapel st when Dale Street went one way.

When I was little we used to get the number 10 bus from Queen Victorias monument (is that South castle Street) ? We used to go up to the baths, me an' me mates, on Prescot Road. On the other side off where the Greyhound pub is.
We went their 'cos it had a high diving board and Cornwallis Street and Stebble Street never had one.
Yeah Maria, Queen Vics monument Is South Castle Street.
The 10 26/27 4/5 used to depart from there rather than the Pier Head

That's fantastic Gerard. You hardly ever see any pictures of these horse busses.
Well, I havn't anyway.
Great picture.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

those guys with the horse bus look like cops from keystone. They,ve god gobs on like some bus drivers round here
There is a short clip of a video on youtube, I placed from a video of trams around Liverpool in the 50's. It focuses on Old Swan as that's where I live.
It has footage from the Pier Head and the suburbs. The Video is available commercialy called "No Trams to Pier Head", if your are a Transport enthusiast, or like me interested in seeing how life was in Liverpool years ago, it's brilliant. The Video in full, includes footage of the Last Tram etc. and lasts for 90 mins, all taken ( on his cine camera ) by a man called Alfred H. Jacob.
