I like your idea, but sorry can't submit any 'now' pics! but look forward to seeing anyone else's postings.Cheers Jimmy.
Great pics ! Ta to all!
good, just don't expect me to go and take the new pics lol. Would be a shame to miss out on ur old pics and I'm sure one of our brilliant roving photographers will take the pics if possible :)
Hi with my job I travel around most parts of Liverpool and would gladly take the now shot,
Great pic's Jimmy! County rd,and Everton valley are still quite recognisable,but Everton brow/Netherfield rd,look like another place,but I suppose they are now !!
Here are a few pic's, that maybe someone can do something with,or just view!

Half of em are still there, boxed in by the new signs. I think its down to laziness these days ie the shopowners can't be arsed pulling em out,they did two things saved joe public getting drenched and kept the sun out of the window displays.Quote:
What I miss is the old shop front. The awnings were superb giving great atmosphere. Modern shop fronts are absolutely awful. Cheap and nasty. They have no idea how to attract people.
