So near yet so far away in #Liverpool

Checked out of the hotel, a quick look round the shops, a spin on the Liverpool Eye, lunch, two hours at the Maritime Museum, a glorious sunset at Pier Head and a cappuccino in the Fab4 cafe before heading back to the safety of Yorkshire.

Work tomorrow !

The Billy Fury sculpture is outside the Piermaster's House in the Albert Dock. Billy worked as a deck hand on the Mersey tug boat The Formby for approximately two years from 1956, before he became famous. His total record sales were on a par with acts such as Elvis, The Beatles and Cliff Richard. They include Halfway to Paradise, It's Only Make Believe and I'd Never Find Another You.


Billy suffered a fatal heart attack in January 1983 and died at the age of only 42.
