Some shots of places from long ago and then not so long ago if you get what I mean.

Good pics Ged, any more ? :handclap:
Just trying to place that house on the left of pic' 1,wonder if it's still there? Though I've just realised that Queens drive is now a dual carriageway,and it probably went during the road widening!
The house belonged to Liverpool City Council senior veterinary surgeon, no longer there.Quote:

cheers Ged :)

when LRO had it.

These are stills from some old films so not sure if they are of LRO origin. I have that cd you mention called P.O.O.L. The LRO sell it.Quote:

Yeah, you're looking from Breeze Hill really into the start of Queens Drive.
I see, was thinking 2nd pic was Breeze hiil/Breeze lane junction,, so it would be Rice lane to the left and County rd to right
Hi OK, yes there are a lot on LRO site showing the old baths/dancehall and alsoQuote:

It shows the corrugated iron mission hall first left. Then the vets house beyond 22/5/1908. Queens Drive baths and library are under construction. Behind them is Walton Stables made of prefabricated concrete from Cobbs quarry on St. Domnigo road and transported there by traction engine (just like the Eldon st flats a few years earlier)

Great pic' Ged! Would I be right in thinking those railings in the foreground,are of the town hall?Quote:
