Welcome to the oldest ferry service in the world, and the only one with two No.1 songs to its name. Records date back to 1150, although a ferry service probably go back several centuries to Roman times. From the days when it took the monks of Birkenhead Priory an hour and a half to row their passengers across this fierce tidal river, the Mersey’s ferries have been at the heart of Liverpool’s history, and the fortunes of the ferries have followed those of the city. Here are great buildings, natural environment, history, and daily life on board. This 2003 Garlic Press Publishing Ltd Hardcover is in very good condition. DJ.
