Do any of you remember the big ore cranes at Bidston Dock. Filling that in was a crime in my eyes. I would have liked these cranes to have been left there as they did in Salford Quays
In the early '60's when I attended the Tech Grammar,Mosslands or whatever it's called these days,we had a tour to Bidston Dock, including rides in the cab of the gantrey cranes off loading iron ore.Impressive!It seemed a long way down.There was no issue of safety equipment ,real world then,one hand for yourself and the other for the ship,common sense really.
