A group of diligent men can be seen meticulously checking off the various goods that have arrived at the Birkenhead Goods Depot. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to ensuring every item is accounted for before it continues its journey. Located in Morpeth Dock, Cheshire, this terminus served as a vital link between Birkenhead and Liverpool, just across the iconic Mersey River. The depot was a hive of activity, with wagons constantly arriving and departing, carrying an array of merchandise destined for Liverpool's vibrant markets.
