Merseyside can claim, with some justification, to have provided the
transport enthusiast with a greater variety of transport modes than
anywhere else in Britain. By the 1950s, with many long-standing scenes
about to disappear, photographers began faithfully to record what they
saw in color. It is these images, including road, rail, sea and other
modes of transport, that illustrate this nostalgic pictorial portrait of
key aspects of the richly varied scene. Taking the reader on a journey
from Liverpool and its suburbs to Birkenhead and Wallasey, with one
small detour to include views of the remarkable Runcorn Transporter
Bridge, this book gives a full-color view of the historic transport that
was part of the Merseyside townscape from the 1950s to the 1970s.
