Is Gerard's photo for today or yesterday? :question:
I assume its for today, @Gerard - don't forget to add the date of submittion.
Good morning, here's my first contribution to this excellent thread, from last September's Tour of Britain stage finish at the town hall. Right - goodnight!
Edited to say: for those who don't know that's Britain's own Roger Hammond getting a home win!

You were in the right place at the right time there Iain,well done mate.:)
Yes I got a good spec just after the finish line behind two or three other people so I held my camera up and snapped away. This one's cropped (and brightened up) quite a lot from the original:

The day after this I went out to see them on the Bradford - Sheffield stage through the Peak District on an utterly cr*ppy day and to say the least no-one was looking this jubilant or energetic!
Port of Liverpool Building (only a little photoshop :) ) but you can have the original if you prefer.

Holmefield Road, Aigburth.
The former Grange Hotel has been converted into apartments, and is now called Ivyhurst Manor.
Ivyhurst being its original name when it was built in the 1840s.
Holmefield Lodge opposite is probably the oldest house in Aigburth, being built some time in the 18th century.

Stanlaw Grange is the oldest 'structure' then?
Hi Philip
Similar to the story of the Washington Monument here in Baltimore. It was originally slated to go in Monument Square by the courthouse but people who had houses in the same square were afraid that it might fall on their houses, so instead the Washington Monument was moved to a rise north of town in what was then Howard's Woods, providing actually a better location (top picture), and the shorter Battle Monument (pictured bottom) was erected in Monument Square instead. Actually if you look closely at the old photograph of the Battle Monument you can see the top of the Washington Monument tiny in the distance to the right of the shaft, the Roman fasces, that makes up the column of the main monument in the shot.
