Report - Sidings shed, Liverpool 1016

[bignickb]

I had gone here initially to have a look at the building next door but had no joy with that! But then I spotted this place and got all ninja again; I got some great shots and was happy until I got home to find waterdrops had blurred every shot (It was raining a little)
So I returned today during better weather; I have no idea of the history of this place, it is set back from the waterfront and has no signs or strewn paper work to state its' identity. But I loved what I saw, especially the overhead cranes and set to getting these shots:

Buffers for long gone railway lines?
