: The Docks are one of the most important parts
: that have made Liverpool what is was, before
: any of this city of culture thing. As I have
: read many of the other letters, writers have
: had their families on the Liverpool docks
: for so long it is part of their lives, even
: today.
:
: My father spent 47 years working for PSNC,
: and has ranked as one of the famous
: characters of the Liverpool docks, as a dock
: labourer and a quey foreman.
:
: Yes as a child I saw these dockers herded
: into cattle pens, where the foremans would
: first shout "tally men", and up
: would go those hands that held that sacred
: Tally. Not all tally men where picked. After
: that the foreman asked for Labourers.
:
: These docks where fought for by the dockers,
: they worked hard and played hard when they
: could find the time.
:
: These DOCKS must be there for generations to
: come. They are the hertiage left to this
: city by these men.
:
: If you aim is to bring matter to the
: attention of all Liverpool people, where
: ever they are. Then all I do know is that
: you wont stand alone on this issue.
:
am i right in thinking that if protests about docks being filled in had happened in the past and were upheld we would not now have the three graces.
is it right they were built on infilled docks.
