Sorry, I don't have any pic's at all unfortunately. That pic' of Bromborough Dock has brought back some happy memories. I used to be in the Bebington Sea Cadets and we used to practice for rowing regattas in the dock and up that little river up to Lever's. Remember the water looking pitch black and the smell wasn't good due to the stuff I imagine Lever's dumped in there over the years.

As an add on to my previous post, you can see stuff floating around those two small boats in the picture. That's what it was like, stuff floating everywhere that was clearly from Lever's. The smell could be quite overwhelming at times, especially in the summer.
