Port at War - Liverpool 1939-1945


I recently rediscovered this book, left to me by my Dad. It was written in 1946 by TJ Buckley on behalf of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. It includes photographs showing what the Luftwaffe did to Liverpool during the blitz, but concentrates on the endeavours made to keep the port operational in response to aggression.

The three railway related contributions are of USA locomotives being unloaded in Birkenhead docks and of British and foreign troops at Riverside station, which I regretfully gave little attention to prior to its closure in 1971.
