Salthouse Dock Liverpool

Clickychick and I were off on a village trip to Liverpool.  Acity I have visited but decades ago.  The bus drop off point was down on the docks.  Imagine my surprise on getting off the bus to see lots of Narrowboats.  I was puzzled "How did they get here?"  Then CC reminded me the longest canal in England was the Leeds Liverpool, there is a hint in the name.

WE had a good look at the city with one down point.  We walked all the way up to the Cathedral, The largest in the country I am told.  On getting inside we found all apart from the gift shop and the area outside was closed to the public because of a memorial service.  Some information down in the town would have been welcome.  Not only the closure but there wasn't a single seat in area the public were allowed to be in.  Not very friendly.
