Sadly, to day visits of the great ocean liners to the
New Brighton shore's, are few and far between. However, the QE2 and
other famous ships visit
Liverpool fairly often. A travel company reinstated cruises, departing
from Liverpool in 1998. The sight of the Apollo returning from the
Med, was only temporary, but was a welcome regular sight.
In April 2007,Ken Dodd
was the last entertainer to use New
Brighton’s theatre, prior to the start of modernisation of the Floral
Pavilion, click here for

The Central Promenade has changed very little over
the last 45 years. On a fine day trippers from Liverpool and Wirral
come to New Brighton for a good day out. In the background you can see
the promenade pier which is sadly long gone. |
