East Float Dock, Wallasey
The tugboats coming to assist a ship in another dock are Thorngarth (right) and Svitzer Stanlow (left). The re-development of the old flour warehouses are underway. I'm pretty convinced that they were used in the film '51st State' (the exterior shot of the club scene).

Kingsway Tunnel Public Walk
The Kingsway Tunnel linking Liverpool with Wallasey was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 24th of June 1971. On the Sunday after the official opening (27th of June) the tunnel was made available to the public to walk through. Tickets cost 25p for an adult and 10p for a child which included a return trip on the Mersey ferry.
