That bottom one is horrendous! Brings back memories of taking the kids out for a swim near Egremont on the 1970s. I went in first and rapidly turned back just before I butted a floating turd.
That large building has Palace on the side - and this is where Gulley would have sailed in, identified the exact year of the cars on the promenade and the date on the can of Foster's floating with all the other detritus floating in, I assume, the Mersey.
