In the background you can see the Seaforth Dock container port.

The photos were taken with my old camera on a very cloudy July day back in 2021 and are not the best of photos. I wanted to go the previous day, which was very sunny, but the temperatures were in the upper 20’s, far too hot for me.

There were a few people swimming in the river. It’s a lot cleaner now than it was in the late 50’s, when I was there as child. Looking at the internet, there are people who swim in it to keep fit. There is even an annual swim across the Mersey. I’ll be there next year, just to take some photos.

I have several possible photos to use, and I couldn’t decide on which one, so as a bonus today, here are other two:
