Description: | This capstan is situated in Gower Street. Ropes and anchors would have been tied around capstans like this one to tether ships to the shore in the heyday of the Liverpool docks. With the slump in the use of the docks they are now more likely to act as street furniture or to help regulate parking. | Subjects: | Capstan Transport (Water) Street Scene Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Williams, P | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
