Thought I'd put this in a new thread as it's slightly different from all the others.

Basically photo's of foundation stones that display more than just the date of the building.

I've started with St Barnies:

That's a good idea, Jona.
I know you've already posted a photo of St B's, but can we have the complete building as well as the foundation stone in this thread?
I'll start snapping. :)

great idea for a thread jona!:)

Another great thread :PDT_Aliboronz_24::PDT_Piratz_26:.

And very slightly off the original theme but still connected with St Barnie's are pictures I've taken from the top of the tower:

a: View towards All Hallows Church
b: View towards Mossley Hill
c: View towards the waterfront

great pics jona :)

Attached is a photo of the foundation stone to Gerard Gardens, taken from the 1938 film Homes for Workers. This is included in the 1930's section of my film Gardens of Stone, extract of Homes for Workers attached;

Nice photo Kev. Nice to see the name Toxteth proudly displayed. Don't the locals think this area is in Aigburth though

Great photograph, Kev, and I would also welcome knowing where this is. "Councillor Max Muspratt" -- wonderful name!!!!

It's opposite McDonalds at the Ullet Road end of Aigburth Road.

I'd much rather say that McDonalds is opposite the former Toxteth Institute. :)

For you ex-Pats, McDonalds was built on the site of Parkfield Motors.

where about is that kev?

The old Shorefields Comp building.

Us St Mag's boys used to have run in's with the Shorefields lot :gossip: :mad: :61:

The foundation stone was from the period when it was a methodist church. The methodists don't seem to have survived very well in Wavertree with a number of their churches closing down. Similarly the United Reform Church whose original main building in Earle Rd is now a mosque.

Great pic, Mandy! Thanks! :handclap:

St Mary's Victoria Park Wavertree was originally a Wesleyan Methodist Church. It was purchased after WW2 by the Church of England to replace the bomb damaged original St Mary's Church, Sandown Park. This interesting pair od foundation stones show continuity between the two sites.

Just thought I'd mention that Tocky Tech. reaches its' Centenary on 17th October 2007 (this Wednesday). Worth photographing, if I don't forget by next week. It's the red-brick building at the start of Aigburth Road.
