Too late Gerard. I,ve just come back from Mara, Marra, Marrer, CREWE and a man in pyjamas, or was it a woman, just asked me did I want any mucky postcards. I said yes, and he showed me yours

Great pic but (ahem) not very accurate history! Isn't that where the Crosville buses used to terminate? H1, H2, H5 etc?

And weren't the 4 & 5 mostly seen in South Castle Street?

As for the 80A

Depends on the year, the 4,5 were Sth Castle Sreet mostly.

However some journeys were operated from Mann Island as confirmed by the 1972 and 1976 timetables.

Other routes using Mann island and Georges Dock Way were 73,73a,79a, 79e, 16, 1, 76 and all the Crosville H routes.

On our running day last year we were running 4,5 and 73 from Mann Island presumably some little IMP had been messing with the rear numbers.

Hope you are all going to join us on our next Running day on 9th Sept.

kind regards

Rob

Is the former Voss Motors building to be demolished?

[marky]

The frontage of Voss Motors building looks safe for a bit longer. I thought all of Mann Island was scheduled for demolition, to make way for those modern 'black granite' buildings. They must be saving Voss Motors until last.

Re: Voss Motors (Mercedes building)
I noticed 'Demolition in Progress' signs and a wire fence have been erected around the front...probably only a couple of weeks left to get photos.

Thanks Marky.
I took my photos a couple of weeks ago.

Tip to photographers:
The higher windows make great mirrors to reflect parts of The Three Graces.

Anyone any idea what the Brick building is?

Anyone any idea what the Brick building is?

It's the pump house for the Mersey Railway.
Built about 1885.
