Reminds me of Scarborough a fair degree, actually, or Whitby here in Yorkshire...just bigger! <br /><br />Isn't it funny that in spite of how long you have lived in America, you still consider "home" across the pond, even while having raised kids in the US no doubt, etc? I ask myself sometimes, what is home? Where do I say when asked, where are you from? People always assume the US whilst I've been here b/c I've got Americanized and sure, I def don't sound Yorkshire! I often say, "London" and I can tell the look at me oddly, as did the man who also said he was from London but spent lots of time in Bangladeshi and sounded Bangladeshi. So, surely one is more than one's accent? I tend to think, wherever you had your most formulation years is where you are from, not where you are now or even where you are born or otherwise my sisters would be Singaporean and Malaysian, respectively!

We went on the ferry, and the song "ferry across the Mersey" was a current hit. It was thrilling to be there and I am so glad to see it has become well preserved so to speak.

In doing some research on my family, I have discovered that my Great-grandparents left England from Liverpool to settle in the U.S. in 1880, although I believe they were both from Devonshire. It may have been the last place where they saw their loved ones before departure; at the very least, it was the last they saw of their home-land. It would be so cool to see the Beatles museum, too! We have quite a few of their costumes and instruments here at the Rock & Roll H.O.F. in Cleveland. . .Thank you for sharing these lovely images and your own special memories.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771661767576872674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-38656720712713915612016-09-20T14:15:18.068-05:002016-09-20T14:15:18.068-05:00Thank you so much for these photos of Liverpool. ...Thank you so much for these photos of Liverpool.
