Commemorative signs around Liverpool
Commemorative signs are lasting statements of the achievements of an individual, or group of people. They can also illustrate the history of a particular building or site, or erected to mark an historic event.
There are many around Liverpool, we have so many of the 'blue plaques' dotted all over the show!
Get snapping with your cameras kids! :PDT_Piratz_26:

Memorial to John Michael Bailey on factory wall, Blackburne St, Garston. Anyone know the history behind this plaque?

Old Masonic Pub Lark Lane
This pub can only be described as having been vandalised in its conversion and refurbishment. Anyway, spotted this sign . It seems to refer to the days when it was a Walker's pub.
Grard Manley Hopkins at St Francis Xavier's Church.
It doesn't say 'English Heritage' on it, so I presume Liverpool City Council are behind these plaques.
Anybody know?

Not sure about Heritage and Conservation, these cottages near Grassendale Park have long since been demolished.

Memorial Bench Seats Otterspool Promenade
Sadly the local yobs have smashed up this delightful seating area on Otterspool Promenade. I'm surprised it wasn't renovated during the recent £1.8M refurbishment of this part of the promenade.
