The MDHB docks were in Liverpool and Birkenhead. The dockers had their "pens". They would work on ships local to their pens, howebver if needed be they would go anywhere, south to north end, or to Birkenhead.

Although in Liverpool Garston Docks were not owned by HDHB. Was was the situation with movement there?
Also when rating tonnage, etc, Garston Docks were never taken into account with Liverpool Docks.
