Thought I`d have a change from Birkenhead Docks and post a few of Egremont Ferry

The Mersey covered in ice during the winter of 1895. A Wallasey ferryboat leaves the Egremont running out stage, and to the right a sailing ship anchored in the river.

Egremont ferry in the late 1890's. During this period Egremont and Seacombe began to rapidly expand as new houses and roads were built.
