It's a shame to see it in such bad condition!Surely,these day's, it would be financially viable to restore it?

is my memory failing me? i remember when i was a child, im 32 now, this place was being built, i might of been about seven, just remeber walking over a little bridge with no hand rails on it , was always worried id fall over or something and land in the water

, i know its irrelevent but thought id just mention it

, luv it when i remember little things like that about liverpool, i also remember climbing up some steps onto some sort of cast iron scaffolding and looking out over the water, and my father used to take me to an old cafe that was in the the long building on the pier head, i think it was a bus station, last time i went there was 10 years ago, and there was just a beefeater!

The original submarine Resurgam designed by Rev G Garrett in 1878. It sank in 1880 and was found by fishermen in their nets in 1995.

It was rebuilt in 1997 an placed at Woodside but the wood rotted away so it has been restored again.
It is at Woodside again
