cracking aerial vid paul . i have some wonderful memories of lairds where i served my time as a welder back in the late 70s and 80s . Its just a shame theres so little of what's left of a thriving industry that once was the mainstay of employment in birkenhead

Wow 😳🤩👍 Paul, extremely interesting area. Imagine in the past I bet it was extremely busy and you would find it difficult to move around. Nice 1 and keep warm 🥃🥃

I was a crane driver in Laird's for many years between 1964 and 1980.
It's sad to think that nowadays the yard doesn't have a single outside crane. They use hired mobile cranes as and when required.

I agree. Here is the last being dismantled Dismantling 60 year old Cranes ( Extended )

Thank you Paul, a great view "over the wall". My Grandfather worked "over there". He worked on The Ark Royal. Great stuff!
