    Default xmas at the liverpool docks 1968

    [IMG][/IMG]
    The tugboat Rossmore guiding the cargo ship the Norman Prince through the
    Liverpool docks at xmas time in 1968. Notice the Xmas tree tied to the mast
    for decoration. This was scanned from one of my old colour slides which very
    conveniently always had the date printed on them which saves trying to remember when they were taken.

    The Moores brothers seem to have settled down in their new home on
    Old HALL now.

    Took this yesterday from the road bridge by Stanley Dock as I passed on my
    bike to go fishing from Waterloo Dock wall.

    Lovely photos.
    I don't know why, but I've never been to the Stanley Dock with my camera.

    Anyone got pictures with ships in it?
    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Hi Waterways,
    I think it was the Alexandria dock, possibly being towed to the Langton dock

    has been used on the cover of Alun Parry, the Liverpool singer and songwriter`s Liverpool 800 album[IMG][/IMG]

    Fabulous pic, gregs dad. I am not surprise that singer songwriter Alun Parry is using it on the cover of his Liverpool 800 album! What's the news about that album? Is it already out or expected out?

    Alright I've answered my own question. It's on CD Baby, baby.

    -- and I have ordered both of the CDs that Alun has on CD Baby. Looking forward to receiving them.
