Thanks for the comments, I really like how this one turned out. Yesterday was the first time I'd visited the 'Gormley's', stupid really considering they've been on my doorstep for ages

[snappel]

Nice, I like that. Many other Gormley photos are too obvious, if you know what I mean. I like what you've done...

You don;'t need teaching.

All you need Is feeling, Sharpening, Noise Reduction and resizing tools of Photoshop Cs2.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Hi Guys,

I'm not submitting this as a POD image, but I wondered whether anyone can tell me what this wooden structure is, or is for. It's on Crosby beach. Is it a sculpture piece or does it have a function?

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/223/449933263_7bea75ef7f.jpg

Thanks in advance for your help.

[snappel]

Not sure, but there's a triangular one on Formby beach.

EDIT: Perhaps they're waymarkers or a method of identifying which beach is which from the sea?

[Ged]

Not sure but I think the Formby one marks Formby point. If that is the case, I don't know what this one would be marking. I remember going to the Isle of Man in the 80s and passing a wreck, could t be a wreck marker and where has that wreck gone that was just off the shoreline? - perhaps it was further up the coast though, I can't remember?

[snappel]

Off to bed? I'm just getting up!! Nice shot mate...

[Ged]

Is that the costa coffee/starbucks place on the corner?

[lexy1210]

Great photo scouserdave, I love the building detail in the background. A really natural shot. :handclap:

I know. I've heard of a frontal labotomy and a bottle in front o' me but never of a bottle behind me :unibrow:

Thanks folks:PDT11
Ged, the Starbucks is at the end of Castle St. This one is Caffe Nero at 38 Castle St, which is about half way down. Don't know much about the building, but the words "Bank" is on the door. Only info I can find is that an artist called George Haydock Dogdson (http://writeantiques.blogspot.com/2005/03/search-for-forgotten-artists-chapter-3.html) was born there.

Hello Lexy

Happy Easter to you. I am pretty sure this is a navigation marker although I have been unable to confirm that so far by googling. I'll keep looking.

Hiya Lexy, great photo mate. In my haste to post my POD last night before having a kip, I missed your post. It's called a mile marker, used as an aid for judging distances (a mile, perhaps?:unibrow:)

Lord Nelson St is in central Liverpool, next to Lime St Station

[Jericho]

Good pic. I often wish that more of the downtown area looked like this and better still the terrace on Seymour Street at the top. The new houses uo the hill and round the corner in Russell Street that reference a few local architectural features are a bit of a let down but look great to live in.

Phredd If it's the complex on the Bukit Teimah Road then it is still a medical facility of some kind.

[phredd]

Sloyne,
Thanks for that and yes it is the one on the Bukit Teimah..

Bukiteimahzoladine was a drug we use to treat 'Plumbi-pendulosys', one of the 'Change Ally' Sulphonamides type of meds., :lol:

Nice photo. However, I know we have discussions about Liverpool district boundaries but surely including Singapore is stretching Liverpool and Merseyside a little too far !!!

Bukiteimahzoladine was a drug we use to treat 'Plumbi-pendulosys', one of the 'Change Ally' Sulphonamides type of meds., Believe it or not, Change Alley is still there, not the original mind you, but it is now sandwiched between two skyscrapers. I remember the days when we would change our paper money in Australia into two-shilling and half crown pieces then sell the coins as silver in Change Alley for UK pounds. We would make between 3/- and 4/- shillings on every pound, which was a lot on money back then. Thanks for the memories.:)

Photo of Streatlam Towers on Prince's Rd, Prince's Park Toxteth. Built in the 1870s for a Liverpool Wool Merchant who added an extension at the back for his collection of Japanese artifacts. The building in the early part of the 20th C was purchased by St Margaret's Church as a hostel for young women . It was requistioned by HM Government at the outbreak of WW2 and subsequentally used as a Dole office. In the mid 1980s, it was sold to the Charles Wotten Centre as a training centre. Not certain of its current use.

Looking at the 1905 OS map, it was Newsham Park Calvinistic Welsh Methodist Chapel. The church was opened for worship in Welsh in Feb 1884. At a later date they sold the building to an evangelical pentecostal church and now it's closed again it seems
