I think I might have to clear some memory on my PC first.

Malmaison Hotel

Nice photo.
Horrible building.

I hate the phrase Georgian Quarter !! It's only estate agent speak for that part of Liverpool they couldn't possibly call L8. After all they say, L8 has such negative connotations and will affect business. I don't hear them calling the Duke St area the "Georgian Quarter" when in reality these houses were actually built in Georgian times.

I notice the old Princes Park Hospital , now up market "apartments" on the Toxteth side of Upper Parliament St is also classed by estate agents as being in the " Georgian Quarter" when it was actually built in the last quarter of the 19th C.

I regard L8 as an undivisable whole. Like many people from L17 (and L8), I never use the term Toxteth to describe any part of this area.

It's all L8:PDT11

Max, buildings look much better with a stormy dark sky.
No shadows, either.

The pics usually look dull though on cloudy weather and and can over brighten the pic too.

Nice Sunny weather makes most buidlings more colourful and not look like there stills from a grainy old camera.

It works the opposite way with dark stormy clouds.
The buildings are actually brighter than the sky, and not as burnt out as when they're bathed in sunshine.

I'm so sorry for you.
Holly (see my avatar) had to be put to sleep last September.
We know it has to be done, but it's so heartbreaking.
RIP Misty and Holly.

So sorry Phredd to hear that sad news about Misty. I know how heart rending it is when they have to go.

Upper Duke Street on a sunny day.

Condolences Phredd. When I lost my cockatiel after sixteen years I was heartbroken , and when I buried him in a local park under a tree the tears flooded my face and the rest of the week.

Great photo, Marky.
I love this building.
Here's some information.

Lundie Memorial Hall, 6a Beech Street, Liverpool. Architect: Herbert Aspinall. Opened 25 May 1907. Cost £4,000. Large hall seats 500. 12 Classrooms. Erected in memory of Dr J A Lundie, for 25 years minister of Fairfield Presbyterian Church.

Thanks for the info. So it's 100 years old tomorrow (May 25th 2007). The perfect time to take a picture of that building.

Southport Corporation.
I worked on them, 1964 to 1967.
'Monument' is the War Memorial in Lord Street - All the buses went to the Monument.

What was it doing at Mann Island?

Liverpool FC always used them for their 'homecomings' because of the colour (and they were the only local open-tops at the time).

I'm not sure why that bus was at Mann Island, but it's the only time I've seen it there. The picture was taken a couple of Sundays ago.

Nice photo Max. I suspect had the Rathbones not given the estate to the University but sold it to property developers ( as did most estate owners), then Greenbank house would have been demolished and the land covered with terraced housing. Much the same happened to the nearby Penketh Hall, Elm Hall and Heathfield estates in Wavertree and of course many others around Liverpool.

Yes, surely the University looking after it is a good thing?! Just look at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary - I wouldn't be surprised if that had been demolished by now if it weren't for the university.

26th May 2007 - Concert Square on Champion's League Final day:

An astute posting, Taffy. I am sure you are correct, and it's great to know that Greenbank House was rescued for posterity due to the Rathbones' decision. It was great to meet you when I was in Liverpool. I am finding the Garston Mill booklet that I obtained through you most informative. :PDT11

Hi Gerard

Since I was with you when you took the photograph, and I believe you took it in what is now the library of Dovedale Primary School, I imagine what you say took place on that spot in relation to the Beatles has something to do with John Lennon when he went to that school. Am I right, lad?

Chris

Yes, surely the University looking after it is a good thing?! Just look at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary - I wouldn't be surprised if that had been demolished by now if it weren't for the university.

But remember the University did demolish one side of Abercromby Square and won a Civic Trust award for the quality of the architecture !! Wouldn't be allowed these days I suspect. They now complain about some yellow bus stops spoiling the photographic view of the Oxford St side of the square !!

6 months do yer..I'l give you or anyone else 100/1 you cant tell me in 6 months what happened on that spot in relation to the Beatles..
And that includes that Beatles expert of Radio Merseyside...
Du Raaa Du Reeeeeeeeeeeeeehh....me trumpet !!
Personally I like the Beatles' music, but just because I live in Liverpool doesn't mean I think they're the be-all and end-all of British popular music.

To be honest it looks like a picture of (as Chris says) a school library. Besides, isn't it one picture per day, not two? The photos themselves are good, but I think the copyright notices spoil them a bit. From my experience it's best to have a small copyright down the bottom. That way newspapers can steal them and cut the copyright off and print them - then you invoice them, quote the Copyrights Designs & Patents Act and get a tidy cheque in the post...

taffy - quite right, the Uni have knocked down some interesting and historic buildings. Hopefully now though they're more switched on. Going back to my example of the Infirmary, what they're doing is very tasteful, and the original interior details, where not suitable for display, are being preserved behind false walls and ceilings.

Which pic is todays pic of the day then?

Certainly is A.D.

Thought so. Me and our kid used to spend all summer in those baths. You are going back a good 25-30 years though.

Hurrah for the memories, sausage.

Personally I love the Beatles music,and its not because I'm from Liverpool.
Luckily I've got everything i need to know about them on my doorstep..
I take it you wont be buying the Dvd then snappel..Ahhh wellll..
Just have to make 1 less then...Make that 999 to start with..
I'd say the copyright marking's ruin them..exactly as intended..
Im not interested in suing people for money..I'm more interested in stopping my pictures being stolen...
Job Done I'd say..
