More about this scene
This busy scene was taken at the Woodside ferry and bus terminus. The original 'ferry across the Mersey' was operated by monks from Birkenhead Priory, a little way to the south of the present terminus. The buildings that are shown here have all been replaced in recent years - and so have the buses!

Oh, yes, the number 77 bus, I met my husband on this bus. Seems it was a magic number for meeting future husbands. We used to get off at Granger Avenue, opposite The Swan.
