Trying to work out when St George's place was altered. Can anyone remember what year the new St John's market was built?
Between 66 and 71. The first 2 years largely being demolition though. The Beacon opened April fools day 71. However, that triangle of land and facing was still being used by the Codman's Punch and Judy puppet show after that.
strange, but I can't recall it happening at all. I don't remember St George's place I was only young then so maybe didn't go into town too often. I can't recollect the scene of any demolition at all.
I can only remember the hype for the new revolving tower restaurant in the beacon.
Don't give us that ! :rolleyes:
Proof I was a bit youngish back then. See the cranes in the background.

ha,ha. :D
I must have been walking around in a dream then - - probably dreaming of Davy Jones and the Monkees !! Ha! :)
thanks for the pic Ged. Still doesn't jog my memory.
My missus absolutely hates Micky Dolenz - 'Why? What's he done to you' I say.
Mickey Dolenz was my least favourite Monkee ! :D
I only liked Davy Jones. All the girls loved little Davy Jones.
hey, we are hi-jacking this thread. :PDT_Xtremez_42:
But you have to say that Mickey was the one that most resembled a monkey :)
And just to keep it on thread, I wonder if any of the Monkees have actually visited St. John's precinct and in particular, that piece of triangular land....or seen a Punch & Judy show? Or bought something from Patches fire/closing down sale nearby?
I took this late 1965 and the cranes are in place. There are a few more pics
on my flickr site and the Old Liverpool site of the whole construction site

Just remembered this one from my set of Liverpool`s homecoming in 1965
after winning the FA cup for the first time which stopped the Evertonians
asking when are to going to win the cup.
