Down in the Docks

It’s great that these working docks have been preserved. There’s not much industry to observe nowadays apart from the opportunities created by tourism but you can still picture a world of trade taking place across the harbour. The warehouse has now been converted into retail units, a hotel, and many museums, some of which have free admission; but within them the original fixtures such as the iron girders, pulleys and bulkhead doors have been preserved. It also retains its original archways and walkways. It’s very picturesque to walk around and there’s always something happening within the grounds. It’s also a shame that they got rid of the floating weather map used for ITV’s This Morning. The Liverpool arena is just on the other side alongside the Liverpool wheel; and across the river modern continues on on a bigger scale as modern warships are constructed in an area which has much more room for its purpose. It’s all very peaceful. I wonder if they get any skinny dippers in the summer?
