John was born in Liverpool and lived there until he was 20. So this trip too Liverpool was a trip down memory lane for him. I have only been there twice. once before we were married and again shortly afterwards so it is about 30 years since John last saw his home city and a lot had changed.However The Mersey ferry still runs and we saw his old school. It is no Longer an ordinary school as Sir Paul McCartney bought it and turned it into a school for the performing arts. We could hear music as we were outside and John was able to take a quick peep inside.The Church at Mossley Hill is where John used to run up the stairs daily to wind the clock.
I still have one more Liverpool Post to make.

What a great tour to Liverpool, Mary! Beautiful photos! Congratulations to John, his city is wonderful!
Mary & John - thanks for all the great pics. Is this the Mersey ferry the song is written about? "...So ferry cross the Mersey...."?
Terri Yes this is the Ferry that Gerry and the Pacemakers sang about. As the Ferry set sail on the 50 minute round trip they played the song before pointing out some of the sights.
