Bootle Times News

Used to love going down there for a wander or a bike ride or to just take photos. Anyone know if there is a way in to explore nowadays? I know it's all blocked off but surely there should be some way to look around? ie: jump over a wall or fence or something.

Thanks for posting Mack, drones are definitely the way forward. Do you remember the one of the Klondike, when it was all closed up?

They have a thing called ISPS which excludes casual visitors now Mack. All ships and ports are off limits.

Hey Ken, was your spelling of wave a Freudian slip? Definitely in an argumentative mood this morning.

Not Freudian, Phil, I’m just thick Too many waves of late Ken

Not meant to be judgmental, Ken. I found it funny as you thought your ex colleagues were possibly dismissing you.

Correct me on spelling anytime Phil.
Strange, had I written that with a pen I would have noticed immediately but these devices allow us to get away with it. K

You want to try writing on a smartphone ken. You've probably noticed on some of my posts that A is S because of my stubby fingers

hi mac. I found that video absolutely fantastic, I worked along the dock for years back in the 60s and did not realise how much unused land there is now, also I think a better use could be made of it than a new ground for the blue half of Merseyside, regards billy.

To think that would have been full of ships in the day, albeit, small ships in those docks. Would love to see similar of the bigger docks on the North End. K

Enjoyed that Mack - thanks!

Fab...thanks Mack
