the photo exhibition at the conservation centre is due to start on the 21st. they are from the Stewart Bale collection.
I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw it mentioned last year.

Metropolis - capturing modern Liverpool
Friday, March 21, 2008 - Sunday, August 10, 2008

Stunning photographs from the collection of Stewart Bale Ltd, a local family run photographic practice specialising in commercial and industrial photography.

Spanning a period of great change in the city from the 1920s to the 1970s, these photographs were taken to celebrate, promote and record great events, landmark buildings, cutting edge developments and city life. Monumental in scale and beautifully composed they reflect a Victorian city embracing modernity and the industrial 20th century and have a particular resonance for the year of Capital of Culture

Hope to go to this during the course of tomorrow.

I'll have to go after Easter when buses go back to normal.

Less than a 10 min walk for me.

finally got to see this yesterday. not as many photos on display as I'd hoped, but excellent none the less. worth it just to see the enlarged photo of the old Abbey cinema at night. :PDT11

no photographing allowed so you'll have to go see for yourselves; and it's free!

Hiya qg. I was left there all alone one saturday afternoon and could have photographed if i'd wished but it was a bit disappointing for me to tell you the truth. I've seen better Stewart Bale ones in the records office, but I suppose they tried to get a cross section. The Abbey was probably one of the better ones but they are on that bbc and/or Echo site anyway.
