Corn warehouses, Dock Road, Wallasey
Three massive warehouses built in 1868 by G F Lyster and are alongside the East Float. Only one and a half remain in 2021 and have been converted to luxury flats. They are six storeys high and of brick with heavily moulded windows and doors.
I was there to visit the little fleet of historic warships, including two veterans of the Falklands War. They have now been disbanded and largely scrapped.

'Brian' on Birkenhead Road, Seacombe ? 1964
Out of service and awaiting scrapping. Built by Avonside Engine Co of Bristol in 1918 (works no.1796), it was one of a number of locomotives owned by the Wrexham engineering firm Cudworth and Johnson and hired out to various businesses, in this instance Rea Ltd who carried out a lot of wharfage, as well as river tugs.
A very similar engine to this, which is now preserved https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/avonside-engine-co-works-no-1772-askham-hall-0-4-0st/
