I lived in maisonettes, also the ground floor flat in the first photo on St Domingo Rd , they were demolished about 2 years ago

It seems to be the policy now to get rid of them all, so snap away chaps, while you can.

I first lived at no. 3 with my dad, then no. 2 my first flat until I had a serious fire & had to be rescued by neighbours & firemen(I still have the news paper cutting), after the fire I moved into no.9 until 2002 just before they were demolished

These flats fronted onto Leeds street and backed onto Worfield Street. Vauxhall Gardens stood behind them.

I'm not sure I know the subtle differences between 50s/60s designs...some had round windows, landings, raillings and some didn't. Here's a couple that have since been demolished.

Myrtle Gardens gets a good slot during it, great model that. Those with the orange arrow are the balconies aren't they and yes, that's the central stairway with your green arrow.

he was a real gent,emailed him a few times, he was following my progress and sent me a copy of his pic, i was hoping he would have been able to come to the exhibiton, but sadly not,

i just wish id have known about this excellent forum aswel,

i didnt realise you wrote the in a city living books, my dads just got the first one, and my mate whos helping me build the layout has got all 3, and are really interested in all this history, my dads got loads of liverpool history books

i love it, love the cars, trains, street scenes from the 50s 60s, never got to see all this history, am 23 so thought id do a model of it


mike

[mike delamar]

just seen the post,im just getting used to this forum theres so much stuff on here, getting my head around it

gutted,

ill be in work i wont me able to make it

sorry

mikr

[Ged]

Mike, it seems to be the in thing at the moment these models. I see the Liverpool model in the library has been extended then there's the model of what the metopolitan cathedral was going to look like in the Walker and my friend Mike Murphy who supplied many of the photos on my site made one years ago of Tate and Lyles which he still has, now yours too.

The Lee Jones screening is based at their headquarters in Limekiln Lane, just off Silvester Street which in turn is just off Scotland Road, near to St. Anthony's church. It starts at 2pm - it's free but you need to book the tickets by ringing Lesley or Joan on 207 1984.

The film lasts one and a half hours, there's usually people there who bring their own pics to show around and Lee Jones will have their own on show. Ron Fromby of the Scottie press www.scottiepress.org will be present (they're based around the corner and set this up really) and there's always a lively debate at the Q&A session afterwards.

Hope you and your dad and whoever else can make it.

[Ged]

Not to worry Mike, it'll be on again somewhere throughout the year, definitely featuring at the St. George's Hall big history festival in September - see my events page on the website. Why don't you contact Marcia Hughes about having your exhibition there too.

[mike delamar]

Mike, it seems to be the in thing at the moment these models.

yeah ive got a thing for building models, be it cars, buildings, trains

think it started with watching Thunderbirds when i was a kid :unibrow:

reading books like yours and photos that my dad had collected made me want to do it,

i wanted a railway as got an interest in the old steam days (know a few old drivers and firemen who tell great tales )

and wanted a small Liverpool location, and searched all different local locations, and crown street fitted all the requirements especially with myrtle gardens on it, worked out at 20ftx3ft

the same fella whos doing it with me, is helping his mate, do a layout of Lime street!!! as it was in the 40s, its aprox 40ft x 8 ft complete with the hotel on the end and the cutting leading up to it with the tennements above there, its been to our show in part and will be there in the next year or 2

Slightly older than the 50's - however I'm not sure when they were actually built.

Here is a 'what they may look like' picture of Paddington Gardens in Edge Hill.

[Ged]

Jona. I see Lancelot Herman Keay has signed that and they look like the other Mason Street tenements that were built in the 1930s - along the same lines of the Bullring nearby. Proposal drawings were made on all of these inter-war tenement developments or it could be proposed revamps that were drawn up in the 1950s including Gerard Gardens but were shelved.

guys whats the woodwork under some of the windows, is it just style and for decoration??


and anyone know of pics of them when they where new??

mike

[Ged]

I have dozens of pics of these - that wasn't wood but rendering just painted to relieve the expanse of brickwork - there's plans of them along with the tenements at the LRO. I have some pics of the 50s style standard units as they were called that formed part of Gerard Crescent on the page of that name on my website.

im wondering why the one on the side has the cut in balcony, or whatevr you call it and the ones next to it dont??

cheers

[Ged]

Those flats were all over the place Mike. It's just the design of them that some have balconies and some don't - different sized windows, some had round port hole windows in the side of the block etc too.

Mandy,when you lived in the Radcliffe Estate, did you have a sister or relative called Titch Roberts who hung around with a girl called Shields from Jenkinson Street - this would have been about 1976/77 when our classmate Gerard McCarthy lived there?

took these pics today, of maisonettes in garston/allerton, these look identical to the ones i am building, although the front entrance seems moderner, i dont think it would have had the front door like this, and also the more modern double glazing, would love to see some pics of this style from the fifties, would also like to know the door/window arrangement on the rear,

These used to be situated on Childwall Valley Road, just past the bridge on the right hand side down from the Fiveways. A 1960's build, gladly they were demolished last year!!

2350

[Kev]

Excellent pics everyone :handclap:

[Ged]

Mike, they are new security doors with buzzers, the old entrances were just open 'square'archways (if there's such a thing) but you'll be my meaning by looking at these on Bevington Hill off Scotland Road, below.

Also scroll down on my website to see front, side and rear views of Gerard Close from 1952 in their newly opened state.

[Ged]

I took these yesterday when I was in the area anyway.

The only set of maisonettes left in Boundary Street L5. This street was once lined with them. This section is from Vauxhall Road to Stanley Road.

The next set of flats still going strong are on Carver Street, L3. Taken from Islington.

Grosvenor Street just prior to demolition, one block resembles Hitchcock's 'The Birds'.

Finally Great Crosshall Street which has these flats on either side facing each other. Another block existed here but was demolished in the 60s after only a decade to make way for the flyover.

[Ged]

A fine example of the Council's policy in the 90s to convert some of the aforementioned flats into houses. These are on Green Street L5 and others in the area exist on Blenheim and Tatlock Street. The open entrance had to be bricked up and the internal stairwell and landings removed and new rooms made so quite a job really.

[mike delamar]

that pic in the 60s ged is absolutley fantastic, love the road vehicles

reason i need to know the doors is ive made a start on the front

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/michaeldelz/002-3.jpg

so the doors will be on the inside then?

the pic of the house, i had a feeling the ones in smithdown lane had been converted as they are in the exact same spots

[chippie]

The house I grew up in during the 60s was dark and dingy. It was a two up, two down terraced midden off Breck Road. The only light we had at night was a gaslamp in the ceiling. We had a candle each in the upstairs bedrooms, bare boards on the floor and distemper on the walls and ceilings. There was no door on the outside toilet and when you went, three households could see you. The windows at the back of the house were dirty and broken. The last time a window cleaner saw those windows, there was a dictator instead of a royal in London. We ate when there was money in the house, which was not very often and my staple diet was stale bread and dripping or jam if someone got a wage packet. Before I moved in there, my gran had a husband and brought up eight kids in there years before.:handclap: I applaud that woman and hope she is in a far better place than the hovel that she was forced to inhabit back in the good old days.:shock:

[Ged]

Boundary Street, now new housing. Just the other side of the bridge is now the big tai pan chinese restaurant. This area was desolate for quite some time.

St. Martins cottages, the first municipal housing in Europe feature here on Silvester Street (1869-1977) next door is Archbishop Whiteside School with the church at the top of the picture.

To the far right, the next housing on the picture to be built in that area following the slum clearance programme were Portland Gardens in the 1930s (Burlington st tenements which stood opposite them were built a decade earlier but are not on the pic)

The lower, three storey standard units and the maisonettes of Ashfield st, Silvester st and St. Augustine street came next in the early 1950s followed closely by Blenheim and Tatlock towers (Blenheim shown here)

Pic by Ron Formby of the Scottie Press.

Yes, it's a cr@ppy pic but you can only go with the technology of the time i'm afraid. It's best if you click the pic bottom right and enlarge it a bit.

Wonder I never saw you Marky, was up there myself this afternoon. Weird that one, what's the story behind them?

I don't know the reason for the red doors, but now there's a big white marquee on the nearby wasteground. The doors on the front have little lights in them...should look nice in a night-shot.

Great selection again, Gerard.

I'm interested in the street sign on picture 3.
It's one of the original, oldest types with serifs on the letters, which stopped being used in the 19th century.
They're usually to be seen on the oldest buildings in Liverpool.
They're getting rarer as they get replaced, or the original buildings that they're on get demolished.
This is the only one I've noticed that looks like it's been saved and put on a newer building.

Great pics as always Gerard, despite so many students crying poverty I see there are lots of nice cars there!

Thanks Phil for letting me know that mate as I was unaware about the Old Street signs..I've cropped it a bit so maybe you can view it better and get a better Idea.
The Old Bullring photo has a different,Larger sign in the same place..

Thanks, Gerard.

It makes it clearer for people to spot the original type of lettering.
I've started snapping them when I see them, and the buildings that they're on.

Oooooohhhh..dont start me over Gerard Gardens..

[The Gardens]

Great pics Gerard. I visited the Bully last year to shoot a piece to camera for Gardens of Stone. The landings seemed to be much narrower than I remembered, you can see where the metal support for the washing lines has been removed.

Maybe us ex tenny residents should go to the Bully and hang some washing out in memory of our old Ma :)

[Ged]

Which was a better idea than the poor people of Wolfe street had to contend with.

Pic from LRO.
