From Seaforth to Dingle: The story of The Ovee
The Liverpool Overhead Railway, or as it was known locally 'The Ovee' or 'The Dockers Umbrella', is a one of the more forgotten parts of Liverpool's past. An essential form of public transport for any Scouser, the Overhead Railway spanned 6.5 miles up and down the Liverpool docks and waterfront. In this episode, we charter the story of The Ovee, why it was built, how it was created and why, if it was so popular, did it come to an end?
