We have had such a great time here and it clearly will be on our agenda to return here - next year.
Being able to moor up in an area which is just 5 minutes away from the city centre on moorings which are friendly, quiet at night and have power and water is unique in our travels.
There are just so many things that we have seen whilst we have been here that words alone cannot tell completely.
 |
| the yellow duckmarine - making it's usual splash on the occupants as well as the residents |
 |
| the day it broke down - but as with all boaters there is always someone to come to the rescue |
 |
| The moorings in the background - an ideallic place to stay |
 |
| Especially happy with this - the view as I worked |
 |
| Part of the Old Dock area - still preserved under the new development that is Liverpool One |
 |
| The walls of the Old Dock - a great deal of work was carried out during the development of the new shopping precinct to ensure that ths old dock was not affected |
 |
| St.George's Hall which was built to house both the Courthouse and a Town Hall |
 |
| The courthouse |
 |
| the dock (not the shipping kind) - well some of them might have been shipped out |
 |
| Part of the huge organ in the town hall |
 |
| the ceiling |
 |
| we had to take the ferry across the mersey - and yes they played the song Diane did her best but without the words and the tune we can still give her a pass mark |
 |
| a view back to Liverpool and the Liver building across the river |
 |
| foreground there is a beach - but way too cold for a dip |
 |
| the imposing structure that is the Anglican Cathedral |
 |
| This is the ferry |
 |
| the Town Hall on the Birkenhead side - cannot remember which one it was |
 |
| Part of the submarine U-534 - salvaged after the war and now on display |
 |
| waiting for the ferry |
 |
| This is for Diane's dad - for memories of over 50 years ago |
 |
| the SuperLamBanana - this is the first one |
 |
| all around Liverpool these sculptures have materialised |
 |
| along the waterfront |
 |
| and in front of the Liverpool museum - as well as in the town |
 |
| just one more |
 |
| the city is a delight to walk through - notice the building on the right with the tower |
 |
| not much chance of knowing the time - no sun to speak of |
 |
| The town hall - like a lot of older buildings there is a great deal of cleaning needed |
 |
| The Queen Victoria memorial - in Derby Sqaure |
 |
| couldn't come to Liverpool and not visit Mathew Street - and The Cavern Club |
 |
| The Anglican Cathedral |
 |
| It really is more impressive inside |
 |
| Such incredible work to build this |
 |
| I am sure that this is a normal telephone box with more than one number that can be called |
 |
| Looking at the Anglican Cathedral from the Catholic Cathedral |
 |
| The Catholic Cathedral - note the black section at the top - this is actually stained glass windows |
 |
| The stained glass windows from the inside |
 |
| The altar |
 |
| The Philharmonic Dining Rooms - worth a visit simply to see the tile work inside - even in the gents toilets |
 |
| The Liver bird - symbol of Liverpool |
