Oh wow, the old Pierhead bus station being torn down.

[lindylou]

Thanks, I've bookmarked that. I'll have a look through later. Don't think I've seen this one before.

[Oudeis]

I did try to find out who ran this site, but all I discovered was that it 'may' be run from Kiev. Which perhaps is not right. Then I found this...

[lindylou]

I've looked through that site. Some good pics.

Looking at these photos of the Pier Head makes you realise how fantastic it is now - you forget what a dump it was ! :neutral: -- http://www.memoriesofliverpool8.com/albums/album6.htm

It's hard to believe it was allowed to be such a grim place !

[Ronijayne]

Oh gosh, I think that is my street....The one that is titled Weller Street.....you can see the name of the cross street and I think it is Micawber Street, can anyone tell???

David Lewis, I tap danced there once a year a show put on my my tap and ballet class, Miss Lillian Lloyd.........................

[Ronijayne]

Dingle and Aigburth.......I used to go to the kids movies on Saturday afternoon at that Gaurmont. A shilling each for my sister an me. 6p to go in and 6p to spend on sweeties

[GeorgePorgie]

That the pic with the pigeons in and the bird pushin the pram? Nah! can't make out the street name.

[Ronijayne]

I think it is Micawber Street, I felt very odd seeing it...............gone now

[GeorgePorgie]

Here's #86 Micawber in 1955......

22969

I don't think house decor was at the forfront of peoples minds in 1955?

[Marty1]

We used to paper over paper, not very often though ! We never had a carpet in the house, now I choose not to have any !

[Ronijayne]

It is Nickleby Street. Next one to us. I enlarged the pic until I could read it. I may know those people in the photo.

My mother stayed up all night to finish a room. She papered, did borders, got fancy................she always did. We always had carpet in the living room and 'parlour' and lino in the kitchen. My aunt Alice next door was the first one in the neighbourhood to have a TV so we went in to watch the kiddie programs (so did all the other kids in the street!)

Yes, I just threw my carpet out to have bare wood. In apartments you are supposed to have carpet but as we have 12 foot ceilings I can't believe it matters (dull the sound) it is an old apartment and you cannot hear each other anyway.

...and one of the Gaumont pictures shows the wierd roundabout system at the end of Aigburth Rd. by the bus shed entrance.

I remember being a bit confused there on my first few driving outings in the mid-60's...:)

It seemed normal to us as that is all we knew. It was weird. The bus stops were in strange places, you had to know where to go, very odd

We used to get the bus there when we were kids to go to our grandparents in Old Swan

Well, they fixed the roundabouts by getting rid of them...:)

I didn't recognize the place the first time I drove there after the bus shed was gone - it looked so different...

Yes, bare......but in a nice Zen way! Maybe not Zen, but certainly more Feng Shui correct!!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

There were some nice buildings next to the bus sheds,but empty for a long time,then demolished!

It kept the rooms warmer papering over paper but wasn't it a job when you decided to strip the blighter.:unibrow:

[Diane Louise]

We had a carpet but it wasn't fitted and we were very lucky to have a garden front and back with a lawn, flowers and hawthorn tree!

[Ronijayne]

We always had fitted carpet BUT I remember being very young and seem to remember lino and area rugs

Yes we had lino and a square of carpet and then we had a fitted one!

[GeorgePorgie]

Seem to be finding more and more photies as of late....dunno if this'll work?
