Empty River

Forgot to mention the river at Liverpool. There's a huge waterway, linned with docks and wharves, and it's all but empty of shipping. I saw two tankers go plodding downstream. That's all. Then I visited the Museum of Liverpool and saw what it was like until fairly recently, alive with ships and buzzing with activity. Youu can imagine the sense of loss scousers above a certain age must get when they see it and remmember how it used to be.
