Ferries to the Rescue
The Mersey Ferries played an important role in the defence of the port of Liverpool during the Second World War, and also carried out vital war work elsewhere. The Manx ferries too, a familiar site on the river, played an indispensable role, working in many supporting roles for the military, and serving with great distinction and honour during the evacuation of Dunkirk. |

Breck Road Munitions Train Explosion Radio 4's Making History programme received a query about an incident in the May Blitz of Liverpool in 1941. A listener wanted to know if it was true that a munitions train was hit in the residential Forfar Road area of Clubmoor. The producer called Mike Royden - and co-incidentally his mother knew the whole story first hand. |
