Here's one of New Ferry Shorefields. I'm sure most people would remember this Lifeboat as they were passing to go to the baths. The photo was taken in 1970.
i remember that! we used to play in it as kids! i wonder what happened to it? were did it go? how did it get there? i remember being told it was dragged up from the shore? there was a gully in the ground as tho it had been dragged there, does anyone know?
i remember the drag line up the grass. The boat used to be full of water and rubbish. Us as kids were always in it. it was filled with concrete later on. Then one day it just wasn't there....gone.
Dont know how it got there, but i lived on corner of field close and spent many a time playing in it. I know it was removed for health and safety, obviously as kids we were always getting hurt playing on it lol. stupid. i wonder how we lived so long sometimes.
We used to go to New Ferry baths when we were kids and I well remember seeing this ruined lifeboat. At that time, there was the wreck of a ship lying just off the nearby shore - it was there for many years. I wonder if this lifeboat had any connection?
