Default A recent visit - birkenhead docks 20-9-08 mv stolt avocet entering through locks 01.jpg (1/1)


A very good photo, Bill. The right half contains the Liverpool landmarks.

The 'Three Graces' at the pier head:

1. The Liver Building (behind that old brick tower).

2. The Cunard Building (former HQ of the Cunard Line).

3. Port of Liverpool Building (former home of the Mersey Docks & Harbour
Board).

Behind the dome of the Port of Liverpool Building can be seen the top of the
Metropolitan Cathedral (aka Paddy's Wigwam).

Did you know that whenever a virgin or honest man passes by the Liver
Building, the Liver Birds will flap their great wings? That is the photo
you really should be striving for!.

Regards,
