St Mary’s Tower and Cammell Laird

If you don’t know the Wirral it might seem a little odd to put these two subjects together, but St Mary’s Tower (which shares the same site as the 12th Century Birkenhead Priory) stands next door to Cammell Laird’s shipbuilders. Also the tower itself is dedicated as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the 1939 disaster aboard the Laird’s built submarine Thetis.

The second and third shots were taken from the top of St Mary’s tower pictured in the first image below:
