  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)

    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.

  • Ferries to the Rescue

    Ferries to the Rescue

    Ferries to the Rescue Mike Royden (A chapter originally researched and written for Merseyside at War 1939-45, but edited out by the author, as the main focus was on the Home Front, although parts regarding service on the Mersey were retained within the chapter on ‘Defence of the Port’.) Mersey Ferries The Mersey Ferries played an important role in the defence of the port of Liverpool during the Second World War, and also carried out vital war work elsewhere. The Manx ferries too, a familiar site on the river, played an indispensable role, working in many supporting roles for the military and serving with great distinction and honour during the evacuation of Dunkirk. Although the Queensway Mersey Tunnel had opened in 1936, the Mersey Ferries were still essential to both commuters and pleasure seekers alike. Nevertheless, contingency plans for the safe operation of the Mersey ferries had been put in place a full year before outbreak of war. On 24 September 1938, meetings took place at the Mersey Docks & Harbour Building, where it was agreed that there should be no public lighting on the St George’s stage, nor the Wirral stages, while the ferries would only show navigation lights to the exterior at night and inside ‘if lights were necessary in the various rooms on such ferry boats, it would be necessary for all windows to be darkened and possibly for the lighting to be reduced in power’. In the event of an air raid when the ferry was crossing, ‘Such ferry should immediately come to rest and either stem the tide or anchor, and extinguish all lights’.

Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading.
