Liverpool A-Z - 2006

Zena

Born in Liverpool, 84 years old. A retired postal worker who loves the theatre and folk music.

“I love how green Liverpool has become, especially in the last decade and I love the river as well. Our river has always been a great consolation to me in times of trouble. When I was bothered about anything I used to go down to the pier head, get on the ferry and just cross the river back and forth, back and forth… it’s always been the love of my life and I love it dearly to this day. I love it in all its moods. I’m very sorry we don’t have the shipping that we used to because it was absolutely wonderful to see the ships come in from all over the world… I miss that very much. But I’m just glad that they can take the trade away… but they can’t take the river away.”
