The floating roadway at Liverpool Pier Head enabled the Mersey ferries and the Isle Of Man boats
to berth alongside at the Princes Landing Stage at any state of the tide. The tidal variation could
be as much as 20 feet. The Liverpool Corporation buses seen here at the Pier Head were mainly
Leyland PD2s. It must be about 1962, the back end of a Leyland Atlantean can just be seen on the
right of the picture, and a Ribble Leyland is at the rear, setting off on one of the Northern routes.
