The Liverpool Landing Stages were constructed around 1850. The northern section was known as the Princes Landing Stage. Immediately behind the Princes stage stood the Riverside Station which opened in 1895. For the transatlantic travellers it meant that they only had a short walk to or from the liners berthed at the Princes Landing Stage.
Up to the late 1950s many liners and ferries left Liverpool from the Princes Landing Stage at the Pier Head. As the city went into decline during the 60s most of the landing stage was removed, or fell down. This is the remains of the only building to survive, the Ticket Collector's Kiosk at the north end.It's total length is half a mile long.
After we had a pleasant wander around the city centre checking out some future explores,we made our way down the waterfront to check this out.
It was quite surprising how much attention we attractred with people passing and stopping to observe.We were expecting the police any minute,instead the lifeboat crew in a boat turned up and said it's unsafe we recommend you get off.But,by the that time we were done and made our way.They had a good point it's rotten.
