They were 150ft tall, each weighed 320 tonnes and were erected in 1964. They were mainly used for discharging dry bulk cargoes from ships. Port operator the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company – part of Peel Ports Group – said removing the quayside cranes will allow for better use of the area.

RIP the Class 502 stock - did the L'pool to Southport & Ormskirk lines. Similar design to the Wirral 503 sets. Best units ever! Deep, springy comfortable seats, varnished wood trim, leather straps to hang onto at rush hour - pure quality. Built like brick outhouses. Went like the clappers on open track. 1000's of amps under your left hand. Bliss !!!
