Kent Street entrance to East Village

Can`t wait all day Kev,sorry

[lindylou]

Interesting one GD, don't think I've been down that road.

[ChrisGeorge]

Interesting pic, Joe. What did those sandstone arches belong to originally, do you know?

Chris

[gregs dad]

I`ve no idea Chris, all the area had quite a lot of warehouses so the wide arch could have been the entrance for horse and carts.

Just dicovered this,the National Cash Register had a building between Kent St and Cornwallis St
This is a picture by Hardman showing the ornate floor so it must have been a grand building
see below.

My missus worked in Kent Street in the 1980s in a place called City lighting which was the corpy dept for the city's street lighting. Back then, Kent Gardens tenements were facing it on Lydia Ann st and Cornwallis st old sal****er baths building was standing alone. She then moved nearby to Colquitt st college. Al lthis area was desolate back then and when we drove there recently, she couldn't recognise it. They've done well revitalising that area with apartments, bars, cafes and shops.

Hello Joe

Fine photograph but I have to once again lament those excuses for new buildings that are cluttering the view of the Graces. Ugh.

If you walk down Liverpool's Seel Street
you might be surprised by the Beauty of the Beast,
such strange animals before your eyes,
ornery beasts of every size
-- Joe's monsters prove quite a feast!

[lindylou]

Lovely bright pic :)

Hope you don`t mind this is my grandaughter Tiegan`s photo which the Daily Post used today as it`s Postcard of today.
The caption on their Flickr site says "This is our youngest contributer we have ever used but we know where she gets her DNA from"

I wonder how it will look when he's 70 ? He'll never remove his shirt ;)

His undies will probably cover it by then:razz:

Not yet. She came runner up in a competition last week though and has won a £50 Jessops voucher.....which is a start.

At one time all you would see from this shot would be smokestacks and terraced houses.
The forestery is completely near obliterating St George's church on the hill.

When they built the education offices in Sir Thomas St, they put former prime education officers date stones on the building,Major Lester in the middle must have still been in office as theres no end date on his.

Not that good,still getting my head around this camera.

[lindylou]

Thanks Gnasher. Where about is Oulton?

[GNASHER]

It's arace track at Little Budworth on the south east edge of Delamere Forest.

[lindylou]

Thanks Gnasher, I'd vaguely heard of it but wasn't sure where. Thinking of the Wirral -but that's Poulton :)

[ChrisGeorge]

It's arace track at Little Budworth on the south east edge of Delamere Forest.

I've been to Oulton Park a number of times. The location is correct.
