Is the Ringo House Still there?

Or are the houses demolished already?

Cool.

I plan to take a pic of the Ringo House before It's taken down brick by brick and restored In some new Museum so the photo will be unique.

It must be one of the most photographed houses in Liverpool, so it won't be unique, but I'm sure it'll be Godlike, Max.
Your photos are really good these days.

The window was not bricked up. It was simply an architectural feature typical of the 6 room Welsh builders terraced house design. You see them all over Liverpool. The Welsh streets were tree lined. Several of these Welsh Streets still have surviving large trees, see photo below.

Thanks taffy. Seems like a lot of effort and expense to have gone into, tbh. Maybe they had a cartful of spare lintels...

Incidentally, No. 9 Madryn St. is perfectly square, I've got some uncorrected barrel distortion on my pic - which was a passing snap whilst we took a detour in a rush to get somewhere else entirely.

AP.

I think the Starkey's swapped houses with a relative as Admiral Grove was a bit bigger.
