great shot, Itsa!!!
Excellant first picture for this Liverpool forum 2010 :snf (41): Very appropriate.. very good photo...
excellent pic, Zappa.
I think the rules should be modified this year and only allow someone to post on consecutive days if nobody else posts an image for the following 24 hours, if that makes sense :)
Thanks all for you kind comments. Much appreciated.:handclap:

Hi Lindylou,
Wonderful picture thank you, my father was a bill poster for British Rail and travelled to all the local stations pasting the posters to hordings.
Has anyone a picture of a bill poster in action? That I could add to my family tree file.

The conservation centre.
If I got pulled up taking any in there (and I haven't yet) I'd say i'm helping conserve too.

Great photos guys. Love 'em.
Do you know where the statue was taken from to be conserved, I havn't got a clue where it came from.

This is the Cathedral fro Birkenhead Priory.
Do you not think the left hand side and the right hand side don't seem to match.
Anyone know why? The right hand side is pointed. I actually helped build this when I was younger.
They are different....don't know? There's no towers shown on the west side [city side] with the door with the stained glass window over it. The east side [with towers] is the apse, or altar side of the cathedral. It may have something to do with the orientation of the cathedral???
Just doesn't look symetrical.
I seem to recall they altered the design, cutting short the main body, either because of the amount of time it was taking to build or money was short.
Nearly all churches were designed in the shape of a cross in the old days. so the left side on pablos pic would have been a bit longer, being the bottom part of the cross
Joseph Sharples' Pevsner guide offers:
"Scott redesigned the West front [this is the city side, shown without the short spires on the LH side on Pab's photo] in 1942, with a projecting porte-cochere [which is French for 'coach gate'], but by the time building reached this point costs had risen so much that a simpler design by F.G.Thomas, finalised in 1968, was adopted. It has a giant arched recess flanked by pairs of butresses..."
Great stuff Dazza.
I have a documentary about the building of the cathedral (including footae) and apparently the architect was overseen by a much older and more domineering fellow who superimposed his designs over the originals. Hence the reason for other changes within. The designs were constantly altered during the whole building process.
You should see those workers building the tower wandering around the outer 'scaffolding' with boots, jackets and caps like there was no drop at all!
