Is it on the Wirral? Maybe Eastham? (I think there are some oil tanks there but can't really remember what it looks like!)

Rock Ferry then, maybe? Just south of Cammell Laird and Birkenhead?

That's the one, it was called Tranmere terminal when I left the berth for my first trip to sea, when I joined the Merchant navy in 14/5/74. When I was at the Open last week I had a nostalgic trip to have another look!

I've never been there, but it's so distinctive in photos it's hard to miss - like a world in miniature!

I'll truffle off and be back with one shortly.

It doesn't look big enough, but reminds me of Colwyn.

Ah, well I'm guessing that the bit at the bottom right is Barmouth.

So taken from Barmouth, looking south, at....errr....whatever it's called!

Sort of composite of both - Fairbourne.

Away you go.

I looked south of Barmouth and all I could see was a golf club and didn't bother posting the name.

Fairbourne....too late.
