arty69uk Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Where and which year was I there.. and where was that liner going and for what reason ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Blimey Arty that's a hard one and not one we can google. I just tried 'where did Arty go on holiday' and nothing was returned The building on the right reminds me of Naylors Timber Yard that used to be on the banks MSC at Walton but it can't be there as the boat/ship (I always get told off for using the wrong word by my brother inlaw) is clearly going through a lock or something. For starters.....is it Latchford Locks and the building in the background is maybe Beers Timber yard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Actually thinkig about it Beers was further up near the Cantilever Bridge... DAMN !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 The old Black Bear canal near Greenalls garages/Colas? Nah on second thoughts what Dizzy said.the Locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I don't want to cheat by googling the ships name..... ....but if it is on the MSC am I right in thinking it's not a normal cargo type ship Arty as those don't usually have so many windows at the front (well not the ones that I always see passing or holding me up anyway) If it's not on the MSC then just ignore that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hebridean Princess is a small cruise liner (I've seen her around the Scottish Islands) and I believe she has been chartered by the queen a couple of times for family holidays since Brittania was taken away by Tony Bliar. As for when and where I don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 She sailed up the MSC about 2006 to Salford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty69uk Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Dizzy . MSC it is Latchford Locks it is well done the building is the gas cooker store Richmonds. Algy your correct she was and is the only cruise ship to enter the MSC she was on a cruise to ports around the British isles. I be leave it cost a fortune to be on that cruise. You wold not think she was once a Car ferry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Atherton's Quay is on the Mersey just round the bend from Bank Quay. It's where Warrington Fabrications and the Storage place are now situated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The motor barge was possibly one of two that Fairclough's owned, Panery or pater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The last ship's cat I sailed with was called "Aggie". (Ship's name was Agamemnon so it was an obvious name at the time!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
