I'm interested in knowing more about the last two photo's Howie, Is this a new 'floating' landing Stage being positioned, or is it 'piles' being driven in for a more permanent feature? Cheers.

They were a couple of years ago Norm,when they put a tempory floating stage in, it didn`t last very long
They got permission to use the I O M ferry berth which they are still using. Everytime we have a cruise ship visit the ferry doesn`t call at Liverpool,unless it`s a small ship. this is from May2007

Thanks Joe! I remember the old stage! I believe this 'disintergrated' some time ago, and wondered if it was ever replaced.

They're undertaking the advance works in preparation for the new Pier Head landing stage. I don't know when the work is scheduled for completion but assume it will now be sometime next year before it is up-and-running as a ferry terminal again.

Thanks Howie! All the photo's and the info are very much appreciated!

Work progresses on the new landing stage.
