"The best view of Liverpool's spectacular waterfront is from Wallasey and Birkenhead on the other side of the River Mersey, or 'over the water' in local parlance. There has been a great deal of regeneration on the Liverpool waterfront - notably Albert Dock, home to Tate Liverpool - and there are plans for an ambitious scheme to transform both sides of the Mersey. In the meantime, the once thriving docklands provide a tranquil place to sit and read the newspaper in solitude. The muted colour palette and calm water reflect this feeling of serenity, a welcome retreat from garish signs, rules and regulations."
