Take a poetic ferry trip across the Mersey

I was delighted to visit the exhibition mentioned in your letter (31 August) because Richard Le Galienne is one of the Merseyside poets I have included in an exhibition of first world war poets and their poetry at the Wilfred Owen Story museum in Argyle Street, Birkenhead. Argyle Street is near Hamilton Square and just across the river from where you will find the exhibition dedicated to the inspiration that Oscar Wilde was in the life of Richard Le Gallienne. For anyone visiting the Le Galienne exhibition at Liverpool central library, it is well worth the trip across the Mersey – yes, the famous ferry still runs. The WOS is run by volunteers and is open from Tuesday to Friday, 11am till 2pm.
