2007 marks the 20th anniversary since the demolition of Gerard Gardens. To mark the event, and help promote Gardens Of Stone: The story of City Centre Living in Liverpool during the 20th century, I have created a Pepperesque poster. This includes many residents of the tennement blocks, as well as a number of 'stars' who appeared in films shot on location in Gerard Gardens. Thanks go to Paul Birchall (standing in the George Harrison position, for the loan of the Pepper costumes).

Quick quiz, can you name any of the 'stars' in the poster?

A further free screening is planned at the Lee Jones League of Welldoers Centre in Vauxhall next month. I will post the full details when confirmed.

It's about forthcoming events and features the pepper mock-up.
