Here is the Reina del Pacifico on a poster reprint by Merseyside Museums, advertising a cruise to South America in 1940. Obviously this cruise never went ahead because of the outbreak of war.
Excellent pictures Billy. Many thanks. No.128 in the third picture looks brand new. She was brought into service in Sept.'48. I think there's one from the same batch in Taylor Street museum (?)

I almost certainly travelled on that bus; my era and my route.
That's an interesting old photo, yoller. It pre-dates Woodside station (1878) and also the trams at Woodside. I guess parcels from Liverpool would have come by ferry and left there for delivery to Grange Lane station. I guess from its position that it may have been a ticket office for the goods ferry even before it was used by G.W.R.
The original building has a large door and two big windows in its facade, plus quite an ornate roof and seems to be a self-contained structure.
But in billyanorak's picture, we can clearly see another section on the right (looking towards the river), which seems to be a later addition. I wonder if this bit was built on when the office became a toilet, so they could have Gents and Ladies?
