Mersey ferry revamp reveals the weight of history - as 130-year-old anchors are raised to the surface
When the bridges at Seacombe Ferry Terminal were first installed, Queen Victoria was on the throne and Liverpool FC were two years from being formed.
The giant linkspan bridges are now being replaced after withstanding everything the Mersey's thrown at them for more than 130 years.
As part of the £7m project, original cast iron anchors holding the landing stage in place since 1890 were brought to the surface. The anchors are so well preserved they will continue to be used.
The landing stage will also be revamped as part of the work that started in December.
