Excellent, I hope you don't mind me moving the thread to the Liverpool Past area?

Kev

Pic 5: The building in the centre, with the chequered brickwork, looks like the Crown Vaults pub, but someone who knows the area better may confirm.

Edit: I checked the Crown Vaults pub and it does have similar brick-work, but is in the wrong position (just off Scotland Road).
The building at the far right of your picture looks quite distinctive.

No probs Kev , just finding my way round the excellent site

regards

Rob

Great set of pics they are.

Thanks, not very often we see pics like that, thats for sure.

the large pub in the background was the Goats Head on the junction of Kirkdale Rd & Smith Street

You beat me to it Mand. For years thereafter stood a sign saying the site of the Goat's Head, as like the Rotunda, it was used as a landmark even though it was no longer there.

God, just how old are you?

I look good for my age don't I?:slywink:





don't you dare say no :PDT10

Sorry Mandy, you've misinterpreted me. I was asking God how old he was? :unibrow:

But yes, you do look good for 40 odd.

Great photo,s. Don't suppose anyone has pic,s of the trams
running down the center reservation down Townsend lane by
Richard Kelly or Queens drive

40 odd!!!! :PDT10 I'm really 300 years old & I have a pact with the devil........wheres that Sleman fella I've got a story for him
