YOU WONT BELIEVE: New plans to turn former river mersey ferry into floating destination - What They Never Told You

Revised plans have been submitted to turn a historic former River Mersey ferry into a restaurant and event space.

For 64 years, the MV Royal Daffodil took countless passengers across the famous river connecting Liverpool and the Wirral. Now, more than a decade since she was decommissioned, plans for a redesign of the historic vessel could be ready to set sail.

Having originally been submitted in 2019, fresh proposals have been put forward to reimagine the ferry - once known as MV Overchurch - into a restaurant, bar and 13-bed boutique hotel. Subject to Liverpool Council approval, the Daffodil would be anchored at a mooring point located within Canning Dock, leased from Canal and River Trust.
