Great photos, Kev.
The sepia one of St Nicholas is very old, as Mersey Chambers was built either 1870 or 1878 (depends which source you prefer) and it's yet to be built.
Some excellent images Kev, love the one of the Lusitania.
Next time I drive down Sefton Street I'll look across and imagine all those dockers waiting "for selecting, at 7am on that wet morning"
Great photos.
