Hello!

Does anyone remember Bidston docks and the 3 giant iron ore cranes? Was gutted to just find out it’s all gone, even the school I used to go to has gone!

I remember in the early 80s, I was at Mosslands both upper and lower but I remember when I was in the lower school, I’d spend hours just looking out the window watching the cranes empty the ships! I’d go home one night only to return the following day to a new ship!

Genuinely gutted to see that even the dock is no longer there, it’s all been filled in, all you can see is the quay and the old rails of both the cranes and the trains that used to collect to ore to take away!

Even the school has gone!!!
