The most unusual ad I remember was the one for Manns Brown Ale. The billboards adds didn't last to long and you will understand why. The ad depicted a party situation with a number of people drinking Manns Brown Ale and the slogan read;

"Enjoy a Manns Brown and widen the circle of your friends". These adds appeared in the early sixties.:)

Was there one on the Lisbon?

During world war II, the Water board could not guarantee the amount/pressure of water to fight fires due to bombing, and so EWS(emergence Water supplies) Stations were set up, Usualy these were ponds, bathing houses, or purpose built resovours, these images where taken on sheid road.

Hi drone pilot

Here's a pic of another EWS sign in Fulwood, a suburb of Preston, Lancashire, as well as discussion of such signs and the meaning of the abbreviation.

Chris

When I get permission to display them on here, I've got access to lots of pictures around the Edge Hill area with EWS on. :PDT11

There is another EWS sign opposite Belvedere school.A couple of years ago I pointed it out to some guy who was in the area taking photos while he was searching for Princess Barracks, which was set up during the war for new intakes (I think that's what he said).
With the weather holding up I think it may be a weekend of walking around with the camera

When I was a kid I used to go to the Woolton Cinema for Saturday kids matinée, at the bottom of the street there was an EWS, last time i was around there it was a car park.

I don't think that is the one I meant, I seem to remember it was right at the bottom of the street on the same side as the cinema.
I could be wrong though it has been a long time.

Shy, it could only be that one corner, as all the rest of Mason Street, except the cinema, are really old houses.

That house on the corner of Mason Street still stands - it was once owned by a previous Tower Captain (in charge of the bells) at St Peter's Woolton - as soon as the grey matter releases his name I'll post it!

There's another EWS sign at the bottom of Needham St.,junction with Edge Lane.

Hi taffy, Snap, found this one off Kensington over the road from Lidl shop.

Interesting old painted sign in Whalley St, Off Mill St. It was once common for families to bring their own dough for baking at these establishments.

I've heard about those bakeries Taffy but never seen one before, I wonder when they last operated.

Hi Quincyg.

I'm loving all your photos.
Lots I've never seen.
The Wilkinsons one is on a building that was a very short lived cinema, and even one of the places where Billy Fury may have appeared!

This is the building, in Prescot Road.
You can make out 'Stanley Billiard Hall', but if you look even closer, it also says 'Stanley Picturedrome'.
It was built as a billiard hall, was a cinema from 1910 to 1915, then reverted to a billiard hall (after the New Premier opened).
It was later the Embassy night club where, in December 1968, it was announced that Billy Fury would appear.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find out whether he actually did!

I had no idea. I took a photo of the old cinema that was opposite. I didn't bother with the 3 on East Prescot Rd as they've had photos posted up before. Oh well.

spotted the Wilkinsons sign from the bus on the way to check Woolies at Penny Lane.
Should have got off bus then as Woolies is just a white tiled floor now. :rolleyes:

That's a coincidence about Wilkinsons, because they were on the ground floor of the Embassy Club (former Stanley Billiard Hall) for years, and did have a similar sign on the side of the building!

Lovely, Quincyg.

A new Salvation Army Hall was never built on that site.
The London Road one is a beauty (Mother Noblett's Everton Toffee), but is fading away.
The whole front should be restored and then coated with something to protect it.

Sometimes, you can only see things once you've zoomed in.
This is in Seaforth Road, and is a mystery.

Hello quincy

I am wondering where you found this as it is most interesting. The two long curving objects shown on the sign for the "Jaw Bone Tavern 1802" are actually whales' jawbones, as can be seen from the images in a Google search (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=whales+jawbones&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi), so I would infer that the tavern stands or stood somewhere near the docks. Am I right? Possibly whalers used to frequent the tavern.

Chris

One of my weekend haunts this Chris. In Litherland Road, Bootle - Merton Road end - not a million miles from the docks but wouldn't liike to walk it if gasping for a pint :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Locally known as Bootle village - a few pubs in the general locality.

Thanks, Ged. I suppose the actual tavern has gone and the datestone was just incorporated into a later building, is that right?

Chris

I would imagine so looking at that brickwork.

I live around the corner from there and never noticed that. sure it's Seaforth Rd not Bridge Rd?
so my guess for a pub in the guess the location is a bit out then.

It's 75 Seaforth Road, on the corner of Seaforth Vale West, and its probably always been a shop.
I found a site for Seaforth this morning, and nobody there knows what it's all about, but somebody pointed out that that terrace was built soon after 1881.

Just shows you. I spend ages photographing other areas and miss stuff 2 minutes away. :o
I've got a book on Seaforth. just popping to the local shop will have a look when I get back, might be an old pic of it. won't be long.

What's the mystery in Seaforth - can't see the pic of it?

Ged, I don't know if you're with us today. :PDT_Piratz_26:

re Eaton Road: I know that building you mean. It also has a pair of hands shaking, at the top of the building.

Well can you see it now, cos I can't see it in either msg 99 or 104. Am I going barmy :PDT_Xtremez_42:

I think I may have solved my missing pics because it's only happening with Philips, can't see his Cemetery gates on another thread either.

New comp in work has a filter which is not allowing some sites to be accessed, so I guess flickr is one of them then.

Yeah it could do. The section on the side I mean is a little taller than the ones to the left so there could be room for more sign o stuff. I think there are also shaking hands in tuebrook on one of the buildings, maybe by the co-op shop

went to Eaton Rd to do the old Co-op that was mentioned

My dad who was in the Royal Navy during the war had a pair of shaking hands like that as a tattoo on his arm, and an anchor on the other arm. He called it 'hands across the sea' (or that was the official title of it, I don't know) in commemoration of the U.S.A. being our allies.

Hi quincy

Fine pics. It looks as if that partly obscured sign on "The Blue House" read "Ind Coope's Ales."

Chris

It used to be called the "Blue House "

suppose that was obvious really, but as a Red I didn't know the Goodison area pubs.

I could see the sign from the back yard of my previous house many years ago. They've built on the wasteground now so it isn't visible from there anymore.

I did wonder if that Co-op sign had been uncovered recently. There are still some screws embedded into the tiles, where it had been covered over by something.

Church St - I mentioned a few weeks back about the old Woolies sign that used to be on the side of their original Church St store. I thought it had completed faded, but this evening the sun just caught the building enough for it to been seen. I can't remember exactly the phrase, it was summat like 2 penny stores.

CO-OP Bedford Road. This tiled advert would look great if someone removed the white paint. There is also a CO-OP mosaic floor a few feet to the right of this old advert. I haven't photographed it yet, as I've only seen the side-door open once (and didn't get a pic).
