In Birkenhead Park this week....

[lindylou]

Benson st, L1

I wonder what this nice building was in times gone by ? I thought it may have originally been a house, but looking closer, maybe not.

I was looking at that,the other day! Some guy came out,so I asked him about it,but he didn't know anything of it's history,unfortunately! Is Georgian though,I think?

Yes, I was looking up at it too (great minds think alike) :) I was wondering if it had been a private dwelling at one time. It looks like another of our lovely Georgian buildings.

[Oudeis]

...and then there is this...

There are only 2 houses in the street now,but there where more,as my mother lived in Benson st,as a child!

Were they large houses ? like the Georgian type around Hope st ?

[lindylou]

Not a very exciting picture, but it fills a gap :)
Bit of a dull day.

[scouse smurf]

Nice pic, Lindy. You should have just added a bit of blue or red into the photo, wouldn't have looked such a dull day then :)

[George]

Bit of a dull day.There yer go,I've warmed it up for yer.

[lindylou]

Lovely pic Ged. :)

[wsteve55]

I've no idea,other than they were "big" houses,so I'd guess at Victorian? The only other house left,is this one,which is next to your pic',but this looks Georgian? I'd like to see some history on the larger house,as it's pediment is quite ornate,as you can see in my pretty gross pic'of same!(no zoom):unibrow:

[lindylou]

Thanks WSteve. This can be your picture of the day .. doesn't matter if we have the same subject twice. :) Just edit to date it



The larger building is quite ornate and I wonder if it's too grand to have been a house ?

Very sad Ged.

If there's a No.159, I've probably been on it? The night bus, on occasion, used to have an American conductor...who used to sing his own songs! That went down well with the Friday & Saturday night crowd - all beered up!

.Funnily enough, driving back from Hertfordshire yesterday we passed a convoy of routemasters on the M6. They were heading back south so maybe they'd been on a short term hire??

I was gonna put this for todays, but no-one posted one yesterday.

[lindylou]

Here's one of mine then - I think this Coburg Wharf.

[scouse smurf]

Cool pic, Lindy. I walked past there too. :)

[Norm NZ]

Scouse, Re your pic of the Yates's Wine Lodge, Can you tell us where it is? Ta.

[Oudeis]

Here's one of mine then - I think this Coburg Wharf.

"Coburg", you say?

I wonder if the names of the small Wharfs begin with a 'D'?

[George]

Moorfields ofDale St,Norm...thats the old Yates the new one is by Blacklers.

[scouse smurf]

Exactly where George said. Im sure it's supposed to be getting knocked down, I thought that was a while ago though

[lindylou]

I'm going to ask a dumb question about this pic of the day - why is the water spurting out here ? and does it spurt out constantly or just at certain times ? Sorry if I sound thick :) is it to do with the low tide ?

one for Waterways ?

[Waterways]

I assume is is to keep the mud moist. That is the Brunswick river lock which faces southish. In hot weather it could dry out being directly in line with the sun. If it is allowed to go hard it would build up with the next layer washed in on the tide, and require expensive dredging.

[wsteve55]

Here's my fuzzy effort,from Saturday.A field of rape seed,in Thornton. (Anyone know how,or why, it got it's unfortunate name?) 25-5-10.

[scouse smurf]

Nice pic, Steve. A quick search and wikipedia gave this answer

Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed and (in the case of one particular group of cultivars, canola) is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpum or rāpa, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century.

[gregs dad]

Can we have some dates on p o d please folks

[scouse smurf]

GD, Steve's posted his pic yesterday so u can have today

...past that stone every day going to Quarry Bank, and when you walk it marked the short cut behind the Greenhills...:)

The link doesn't work though....

[ChrisGeorge]

Thanks, AZ. I believe I have fixed the link. I similarly cycled past the stone on my way to Quarry Bank. I can remember being caught late by the Deputy Head sneaking into the door at Quarry, and being told, "George, you're slow enough to catch a cold!" -- and that I would never amount to anything if I wasn't punctual.

Ha, like Pabs, I was slowing down to 40 as you can just see the speed camera. There was nothing in front or behind me for as far as the eye could see.

[pablo42]

Ha, it's all about not getting caught...
