In this book, Ian Collard uses his collection of rare and previously
unpublished images to tell the story of the Irish sea ports located on
the River Mersey and River Dee. The history of these ports stretches
back hundreds of years. The Mersey Docks & Harbour Board took control in
1858, and a variety of boards and groups have controlled various
elements along both the Mersey and Dee ever since. Illustrated profusely
throughout, this book tells the fascinating history of these hubs of
business and activity.
