That is good news Gibbo.

When I started to read this I thought it was about the wreck in the Birkenhead Dock - is that still there?

Still there tonight. You would need a drone to get good photos.

Cools, I got confused too, as I thought it was in Canning Dock not Bootle. I used to go there just about every Friday. It was so much better than the other clubs of the time.(at least I thought so). We walked over a rickety thing across the dock. It would swing in the wind and always as dark as hell. Just followed our noses and hoped for the best. I wonder if we used to go in through the back entrance, if there was such a thing, never saw anyone else going that way. eek Albert Dock area is so vastly different now, it is completely unrecognizable as to how it was then. Mud , muck and dark is all I remember of that area.
