The amount of double parking and time wasted till you got the nod to off load.
Looks like a yellow cabbed british rail vehicle waiting.
Another picture of a time gone.
Thanks for posting Joe

Lynne, those Land Rovers are most probably waiting to be loaded onto that ship, to be exported to America. :wink:

That’s right Dave, in those days when Liverpool had a thriving port, and work was plentiful, we’ll never see those days again. :( :wink:

But at least Land Rover are still exporting to America. That's good for the midlands.

Hi Lynne
I thought they may have been some shade of blue as the Bootle coat of arms, mind you Liverpool corpy was 2 shades of grey.

I think that the photograph was taken at the Union Cold Storage at the Alexandra Dock, more than likely New Zealand lamb or butter. JJC.
