Thanks, Jimmy :) :)
I often drive around there Dave, very sad. Buildings like that need to be preserved
A nice line in gas bottles in that last picture!

Are you back home? Yes, garston is changing a lot. The old bus station is being turned into homes and I noticed on my way to work that the old garston baths, which has been knocked down, has diggers in them! I wonder what is happening now! Anything is better than derelict land.
:) Will be back home 12th November. From what you say Kev Garston certainly is a changing,I wonder if the old Garston families will be able to afford all these new homes being built,or do they move away?
I think what I've found more impressive Jimmy is the investment and job creation in the Garston/ Speke area as a whole recently.
Certianly when I was growing up around Garston there was nowt. Empty old airport, poor shopping facilities and the creation of The Flyover made things worse. Shops in the village closed and have laid empty, the baths closed which I used every weekend and throughout the summer hols.
Things are happening, though I'm sure the building of various 1/2/3 bed townhouses and apartments would not be for the best interests of oridinary families in Garston sadly. Under the bridge is slowly being flattened to allow for regeneration, but very slowly.
