Ferry Across the Mersey

A very poignant 2 mile trip for me, and a strange coincidence as I have only ever been to Liverpool 4 times in my life.  I received news that my uncle died yesterday.  I hadn't seen much of him (actually, virtually nothing from him) since my father, his brother, died 30+ years ago.  Both of them were born in Wallasey; my grandfather was based there as a Master Mariner in the Merchant Navy in the late 1920s/early 1930s.  I paid a visit to the family home as stated in my father's birth certificate (see extra photo) and stopped off for a pint of Guinness at the Ferry Pub as I waited for the return ferry.  This was intended as some small recognition for my elders and in lieu of not attending the funeral.
