Cast Iron Shore

Cast Iron Shore

Cast Iron Shore is a rather grim stretch of the Mersey Banks at the south end of the City of Liverpool. It is featured in The Beatles' song "Glass Onion" written by John Lennon, and is also mentioned in "The Skipper's Lament" by amateur Liverpool songwriter John Haines. In the Beatles' song, Paul is referred to as The Walrus, standing on Cast Iron Shore.

"I told you about the walrus and me, man, You know that we're as close as can be, man, Well here's another clue for you all, The walrus is Paul, Standing on the cast iron shore, yeah, Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah, Looking through a glass onion, Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Looking through a glass onion"- An Excerpt from Glass Onion

Liverpool Poet, Justine Tennant, also mentions The Cast Iron Shore in her poem "Norra Lorra Otters".
