It's not one of mine, but I want to share it.
IMHO I consider it one of the best photos of Liverpool of all time.

Great picture Philip:handclap:
I love it. never seen it like that before.
Nope, me niether, a fab photo. Looks so clean and shiny
I remember vaguely when the North Western Hotel in Lime st was a cafe/bar and my dad would call into John Menzies in the station to get his month encyclopedia suppliment, I ssume it would be around 1973 ish then he would take me into the cafe and he'd have a pint and get me a carton of orange and I remember looking at the blue neon Embassy cigarette sign that would go out then illuminate in sections from one side to the other until fully lit then go back out again and continually repeat but I can't picture where the sign would have been because the new St. John's would have been built by then, I wonder if it was somewhere opposite by Concourse house but then would I have seen it from the station windows - probably not - Help!

There used to be a Capstan neon sign on the Crown Hotel.Quote:

I remember when Embassy cigs came out, about 1966 or thereabouts.
I used to smoke them.
