So that's what it was?

I thought there may of been another fire like the one on old Chester rd, that's what it was last time when the warehouse by the petrol stn went up. smirk

Im in Rock Ferry and from here they looked like they were from Liverpool, I had a clear view from the top of Bedford Road.

Extremely loud, I dont recall fireworks on bonfire night being that loud.

Just found this on the Liverpool Echo site. The Liverpool Festival Gardens had an event on today, which was finishing with a firework display.

There were definitely fireworks going off at the same time, we saw them over the top of the old tip at the bottom of Bolton Road East
