EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this engraving from the Illustrated London News, dated 6th February 1886. The image depicts St Georges Pier, the bustling landing stage for the Liverpool and Birkenhead ferry service. Despite the recent opening of the Mersey Tunnel Railway in that same year, the Woodside Steam ferry continued to provide a vital link between these two historic port cities.
The scene is alive with activity as passengers hurry to board the steam-ferry, eager to make their journey across the iconic River Mersey. The intricate details of this engraving transport us back to a time when such crossings were an essential part of daily life for residents and visitors alike.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the importance of transportation in shaping our cities and connecting communities. The sight of St Georges Pier teeming with life serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come since those days, yet also prompts us to reflect on the enduring legacy of these early modes of travel.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into another era, allowing us to witness firsthand the hustle and bustle of a bygone age. Let yourself be transported back in time with this evocative depiction of crossing the Mersey aboard a steam-ferry.
