taken from the Mersey Ferry.

Paddlesteamers used to travel between Eastham and Liverpool across the River Mersey in the early 1800's. In 1846 the Eastham Ferry Hotel and Pleasure Gardens were built here, with a zoo, ornamental gardens , roller coaster and many other attractions. The last ferry ran in the mid 1800s and teh gardens were closed down in the 1920s All that remains is the Tap public house and the rump of the ferry pier in eastham Country Park. I wonder just what it was like at the turn of the twentieth century?
